is working to improve vaccine access by providing the pediatric vaccine for the 2.9 million eligible children, with other providers making up the difference.

The ability to protect Texans as young as 5 is a major step toward ending the pandemic. It requires, however, a partnership between pediatrician and parent, one that begins with open and honest discussions about concerns, anxieties, and what is in the best interest for the health and well-being of the children who rely on us — informed and caring adults — to do what is right for them.
