Millions of US adults are newly eligible for COVID-19 booster shots, and—at long last—children age 5-11 years can now get vaccinated against COVID-19. In this episode of the Schaffner Report, NFID Medical Director William Schaffner, MD, talks with NFID Executive Director & CEO Marla Dalton to help put it all into context.
Dr. Schaffner clarifies who should vs. who may receive a COVID-19 booster shot. He also addresses updates on mixing and matching vaccines as well as questions and concerns about COVID-19 vaccines for children.
