Episode notes

Just 18% of parents with kids under five would immediately go out, no questions asked, and go go get their kids vaccinated. Then you see other 38 % who would sort of wait and see, like wanting to make sure that there aren't adverse reactions when you give it to a larger population before giving it to your kid. And then you see another 27%) that just said that they would not get their children vaccinated at all.

After a long wait, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have finally approved two COVID vaccines for use in children between the ages of six months and five years old. But despite a unanimous decision amongst regulators, parents still have questions about whether to vaccinate their young children, with survey data suggesting that the majority do not intend to accept vaccines right away. In this episode of Coronapod, we dig into the trials, the statistics and the regulators decision making process, in search of clarity around what the data are saying.
