COVID-19 pediatric updates

In this episode, our hosts Erin R. Frazier, M.D., pediatrician, and Tracy Morrison, director of Norton Children’s Prevention & Wellness, talk with Kristina A. Bryant, M.D., a specialist with Norton Children’s Infectious Diseases, affiliated with the UofL School of Medicine.

We explore updates to frequently asked questions about COVID-19 and the effects on children. New guidelines have come out about COVID-19 and vaccines for children ages 5 and older. Parents are asking: Should they vaccinate? How safe is the vaccine? What are the risks of getting or not getting the shot? What are the most effective ways to protect against COVID-19? We’ll cover these questions and more.
