>> The COVID-19 vaccine
for 5 to 11 year-old children has been thoroughly tested
following the same approval process. Any new vaccine would
go through
based on the data from the clinical study in children as
well as our experience with vaccination of millions of
adolescents and adults
independence scientific advisory meetings.
>> With both the FDA and CDC
concluded that the benefits of vaccinating 5 to 11 year-olds
far away is the rare side effects that occur.
You know,
there is a lot of information out there about COVID-19
vaccine in children.
And frankly, also a lot of mis information.
>> It can definitely be confusing. What is fact and
what is myth
and some parents may think
I just can't tell what's best for my child. I'm going to wait
and see what happens.
But let me suggest another approach.
Think about who is most trustworthy in looking out for
children's health.
And I would say without any doubt or hesitation.
>> That they have trust for the crew. Is the American Academy
of Pediatrics or a he
the doctors who care for our children.
They have the training scientific knowledge experience
in compassion
that lead to art trusting their guidance on children's health
in a policy statement.
They very clearly said
the AAP recommends COVID-19 vaccination for all children
and adolescents. 5 years of age and older.
We do not have any country indication using covid vaccines
authorized for use in there
after the recommendation in early November that kids 5 to
11 years old, get vaccinated.
The president of the A P doctor peers stay that
sharing this lifesaving vaccine with her children. It's a huge
step forward and provides us all with more confidence and
optimism about the future.
Why this new American Academy of Pediatrics make this strong
recommendation for vaccination.
It's based on the scientific data
about the impacts of COVID-19 disease and kids.
The clinical study results of vaccination vaccinating
children
which found vaccination to be very safe and effective
and our experience. We're now over 4 million children.
>> 15 million adolescence and 234 million people of all ages
in the United States have been safely vaccinated.
The science shows that the benefits of vaccination far
outweigh the risks.
It is true that some children
within a day or 2 after vaccination will experience a
sore arm, perhaps half.
>> Headaches to be more tired than usual and may develop a
fever,
but these occur less often than among adults
while more severe effects may rarely occur.
The benefits of vaccination far away. The person passed.
So don't let miss information lead to confusion
and confusion lead to paralysis where you can decide what to
do.
Talk with your child's health care provider asked questions,
share your concerns and get your Doc. There's
recommendation about what is best for your child.
And if that recommendation is to vaccinate, do it today.
The virus is in our community and every day more people
become infected
in the threat of new variants is not on the horizon.
Don't take a chance. Please
make a decision to get your child vaccinated today.
>> That one of the many sites vaccinating children around
Fairfax County.
