According to @AmerAcadPeds, only 7% of kids 6 mo-4 yo had received at least 1 dose of COVID vaccine by 8/31/22; just 30% of 5-11 yo had received 2 doses. Daycares and schools are doing very little to protect kids from COVID. Vaccination is the most important thing parents can do.
Always enjoy the opportunity to teach the @VUmedicine students and let them get some hands-on experience doing diagnostic procedures. Thanks to all who joined us! @VanderbiltENT#MedEd
