A local pediatrician has advice for parents after Pfizer requests COVID-19 vaccine use in children under 5 years old. Siafa_Lewis reports.
Tuesday’s news has parents with children under the age of 5 asking a ton of questions about when the vaccine might be available for their kids, why it’s taken so long to get to this point, and most importantly, what’s next. Jennifer Coren of Hatboro Pediatrics spoke with CBS3 to break down what the news means.
Pfizer’s announcement Tuesday is a major step, and a positive one, but the wait for parents of children between 6 months old and 5 years old is not yet over. The COVID-19 vaccine is the fastest ever developed. Most vaccines take much longer to produce and come to the market, but not surprisingly, Coren has been inundated with calls following Tuesday’s news.
