Summary

In today's episode, we are joined by Dr. Arunima Agarwal. Dr. Agarwal and I will go through a rapid fire Q&A with regards to the COVID vaccine for children under five. I know that so many parents were looking forward to February coming along and hopefully having this vaccine approved for kids under five, myself included. Unfortunately, that did not get approved this month. So in this conversation, we are looking at why this vaccine hasn’t been approved, when we can expect it to be, where to find research-backed information to guide your decision, and more. In this episode we discuss: Why the COVID vaccine for children under five hasn’t been approved The process of getting a vaccine tested and approved When this vaccine might be available for ages five and under What kinds of side effects are being seen in vaccinated children over five How long you should wait to vaccinate your child if they’ve recently had COVID Why you should vaccinate younger children, even if they aren’t at a high risk of severe health issues Discount code from my sponsors: Use code LYNZY for 30% off Navy Hair Care: Navy Hair Care Shampoo + Conditioner Navy Hair Care Charcoal Mask Use code LYNZY20 for Cerebelly products: Shop Cerebelly HERE Resources: The CDC website The American Academy of Pediatrics The World Health Organization Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Episode 41, COVID Vaccine + Kids: A Rapid Fire Q&A with Dr. Krupa Playforth Episode 34, Update on MIS-C and COVID in Children with Dr. Anita Patel Episode 5, Rapid Fire Q&A on COVID Vaccines with Infectious Disease Epidemiologist, Jessica Malaty Rivera Episode 3.
