2023.1.L05.B – Pediatric Implications of COVID and Vaccines (Dr. Liz Mumper)

Pediatric Implications of COVID and Vaccines

Lecture abstract:

In my presentation, I will share data about the low risk to babies, children, and adolescents from COVID illness. I will help listeners understand the real impact of COVID illness on healthy children, discuss risk factors that do place pediatric patients in higher risk categories if they get COVID, and share the shortcomings of pediatric COVID vaccine trials, helping the audience better understand the risk-to-benefit ratio of these injections.
