After hearing about close friends in their 70s receiving their COVID-19 vaccine, my husband and I began visiting about how nice it will be when we and the rest of our family and friends are vaccinated against the disease. That’s when our 10-year-old daughter interrupted our conversation. “What about me?” she yelled. “When can I be protected?”
This outburst made me wonder, what do young South Dakotans think? As the adults in their lives anxiously count down the weeks until they can receive their dose to become mostly protected from COVID-19 – those under 16 still don’t know if that day will come anytime soon.
