User Clip: Leave Our Children Alone

In a decision that has ignited fierce debate, Susan Monarez, PhD, Acting Director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), recently endorsed the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices’ (ACIP) recommendation to vaccinate children aged 5-11 against COVID-19 with the Pfizer-BioNTech pediatric vaccine.
