EPISODE 8:  This episode is about the big news out of Pfizer that data shows its vaccine is safe and effective for kids 12-15.  It has yet to be published or submitted to the FDA, but likely middle schoolers will be able to be vaccinated before going back to school in the fall.  I spoke with Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Michelle Medina, she’s the Associate Chief of Clinical Operations within Cleveland Clinic Community Health.  She’s also a pediatrician.  I asked her about what this means and what parents need to know. 
There’s no way in health you want to google this info just anywhere.  You can about the study at Pfizer’s website.  Also check out guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics.  I put links to both websites in the description of this podcast.
