COVID, KIDS AND VACCINES

Send us a text

With kids going back to school, big decisions are being made on vaccines for under 16 yr olds.  

A British Government vaccine advisory board has refused to recommend vaccines for 12 to 15 yr olds, while in the U.S. and Israel and elsewhere vaccines are being given to children.

On this Back Story host Dana Lewis talks to Prof. of  Health Paul Hunter from U.K.'s Exeter Univ., who says he supports the decision not to vaccinate younger children. 

And in Australia where calls are getting louder to relax lockdowns, Prof. Archie Clements of Curtin Univ. says to break transmission rates vaccines for kids will have to be done.

A confusing time for parents and Back Story helps you decide what is best for your kids.
