Moving the Needle on Kids’ COVID-19 Vaccines: A Conversation with Medical Expert Parents
As vaccine uptake remains low among children, and with the recent authorization of updated booster shots for children five and older, the COVID-19 Vaccine Education and Equity Project convened a webinar aimed at addressing parents’ lingering questions about COVID-19 vaccines. The panelists – including pediatricians to epidemiologists – brought their perspectives as parents along with their medical expertise for an open dialogue aimed at building trust and increasing awareness about the importance of keeping children up-to-date on COVID-19 vaccinations.
Panelists included:
- Dr. Uché Blackstock, Founder and CEO of Advancing Health Equity
- Dr. Katelyn Jetelina, Founder and Author of Your Local Epidemiologist
- Dr. Ilan Shapiro, Chief Health Correspondent and Medical Affairs Officer, AltaMed
