Kansas City Doc Talks COVID Vaxx For Youngsters & Advice For Parents

Families are confronted with more decisions about the vaxx at a time when most Americans are denying the endemic plague.

Here's local guidance that encourages more conversation with medical pros over sketchy online sources:

Dr. Angela Myers, Division Director of Infectious Diseases at Children's Mercy, believes her hospital will get shipments of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines if they're approved by the FDA's outside panel of advisers.

"Well, we have up until now, so I have no reason to believe otherwise," Myers said Friday.

Myers wants parents to go to the person they trust when it comes to the decision of whether to vaccinate their child.

"And that person often times is your pediatrician or your child's doctor," she said. "Remember they want what's best for your child just like you do, and so having that honest conversation, letting them know exactly what your fears are and then allowing them the chance to talk through it with you is really helpful rather than relying on some of that other information which we now know a lot of which is false right?"
