Show Notes
With a limited supply of COVID-19 vaccines, the focus has been on getting the most vulnerable vaccinated first. But to reach the kind of population-level immunity needed to truly curb the pandemic, children will also need to be vaccinated. Dr. Kawsar Talaat, who led one of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine trials in adults, talks with Stephanie Desmon about when and how vaccines will be authorized for children.
