Are you still hesitant to get the COVID-19 vaccine for your child? Maybe you have some questions or concerns that still haven’t been answered.

Beloved local pediatrician Dr. Ben Danielson is here to help! In these videos, he answers some common questions from parents about the vaccines for kids, including:

Is the vaccine safe for kids? Are there long-term effects?

In the “Kids Vax Q&A” video series, Dr. Ben Danielson answers kids’ and parents’ questions about the COVID-19 vaccines for children.

Will the vaccine affect puberty or fertility?

Will the vaccine work against new variants?

We encourage all parents and people caring for children to get your questions and concerns answered by a healthcare provider so you feel comfortable bringing your child in for vaccination. Vaccinating our young ones will help prevent spread of COVID in schools and child care centers and help keep us all healthy.
