Vaccinated? Here s what to think through as you navigate this summer (and beyond) with your unvaccinated child.
Millions of American parents are now either partially or fully vaccinated against COVID-19. But for millions of kids, that prospect is still a long way off.
While many teenagers ages 16 and older are now able to get vaccinated and new data from Pfizer suggests its vaccine is safe and highly effective in children as young as 12 we’re likely months away from large swaths of kiddos rolling up their sleeves.
“It’s more likely that the majority of children won’t be vaccinated until the end of this year, or the beginning of next year,” said Steven Abelowitz, a pediatrician with Coastal Kids Pediatrics in Orange County, California. He emphasized, though, that even best guesses are “all speculation” at this point.
Two new plastic surgeons have joined Franciscan Physician Network Hammond Clinic.
Dr. Lisa Whitty Bradley and Dr. Mark Grevious, who are both board-certified in both plastic and reconstructive surgery, are welcoming new patients at the clinic at 7905 Calumet Ave. in Munster, as well as via MyChart virtual visits because of the pandemic.
Bradley studied Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit and completed her residency in general surgery at the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Peoria. She did a fellowship in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the famed Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
Her clinical interests include breast reduction, implant-based breast reconstruction, scar revision management, and benign and malignant skin lesion management.Â
