And the side effect profile was similar to adults, some pain and swelling in the arm, some experienced fatigue and headache. but that usually went away within a couple of days, and kids were left with protection. and consider this. there is a lot of misinformation floating around about covid. and parents should expect to be hit with a lot of misinformation on social media and other channels. make sure to get your questions answers from credible courses like the doctor, the childrens hospital, an...

Vaccine is safe and well tolerated and adults in addition to being very effective. but for those who got vaccinated we also know there can be some slight effects including feeling flu we for a week or two, is the side effect profile expected to be the same for the kids as adults are they likely to feel the side effects markedly or is there anything specific to worry about in that regard in terms of how this will be tolerate in younger kids? >> very important question. there were no new or unexpe...

Well, let me answer your question directly. let me speak as a pediatrician. fda and acip recommend the vaccine, you should vaccinate your kids. the benefits of the vaccine clearly outweigh the risks for school-aged children. >> in terms of parental worries around this, the question about what the uptake rate is going to be and how comfortable parents are going to feel, i think obviously in our real lives, those of us who arent doctors who are just considering this as human beings and families, w...

The benefits of the vaccine clearly outweigh the risks for school-aged children. >> in terms of parental worries around this, the question about what the uptake rate is going to be and how comfortable parents are going to feel, i think obviously in our real lives, those of us who arent doctors reviewing all the data who are just considering this as human beings and families, we extrapolate from our own experience. and we know that the vaccine is safe and very well tolerated in adults. in additio...

Way fewer died but we developed a vaccine for chicken pox and in many cases, in many schools we mandate it. why? because children even though they dont die, they get sick with chicken pox. they miss school because of chicken pox. their parents miss work because their children have chicken pox and some unvaccinated elderly adults who are susceptible to chicken pox get it and die. so thats a good example of why immunizing children even for diseases that arent severe for them make a difference. and...

Decision for their children. what was so interesting always to listen to the advice advisory committee have their deliberation is although it was almost unanimous that they endorsed the authorization for the eua, what was not necessarily implicit there is that they recommend blanket vaccination for every child in this age group. you know, one of the members weve had on air, paul offit, sometimes you have to make a decision when you dont know everything but know enough. in terms of side effect pr...

Concerned about safety overall. what is interesting is that they did decide to go with a significantly lower dose again. 10 micro grams instead of 30. i think the thinking behind that was that even with 10 micro grams the smaller dose they were still getting the same amount of antibodies as people who were older were getting when they took 30. and itll probably reduce the side effect profile because it is a smaller dose. theyre likely to have fewer side effects. but that is overall the same thin...

Anxiety that adults feel who have been vaccinated isnt about their own safety. many people who have been vaccinated rightly feel theyre protected from covid, even if they have a breakthrough infection. they are lirk ikely to have a breakthrough infection. the residual concern is they can develop an asymptomatic infection and bring it back into the home. so i think its very important to have a vaccine available for young kids to get back to some semblance of normalcy. thats going to put a lot of ...

To 11, this news from pfizer, earlier today we heard a member of the fda vaccine committee, dr. paul offit, he called this science by press release. he wants to dig into the data, thats understandable, and thats going to take some time. but from what youve heard so far, youre optimistic? >> i am optimistic. while it is still science by press release, and everybody wants to see the actual data and look at the side effect profile, look at the antibody profile and look at the data on how effective ...

Push and hopefully encourage those that yes, it is safe, the side effect profile is safe even for those that are pregnant, and continue to try to work with our brothers and sisters and our neighbors and make sure that theyre safe. >> well, i wish you luck, man. i know those conversations can be hard and its hard to convince folks. you certainly see the results here of refusing to get the shot. dr. michael enrico, thanks so much. >> thank you, sir. very, very, very wrong. strong words from just...
