Q: I have heard that there’s an approved COVID-19 vaccine for children under 5. What do I need to know about it?
A: As the parent of an infant, I join so many of you in feeling a roller coaster of emotions, including sheer relief, now that COVID-19 vaccines for babies age 6 months through 4 years are recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and authorized by the Food and Drug Administration.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends the COVID-19 vaccine for children in this age group.
