On this #AsktheMayoMom live video Q&A, pediatrician and host Dr. Angela Mattke is joined by pediatric infectious diseases physician Dr. Nipunie Rajapakse and pediatrician Dr. Paige Partain for a discussion on COVID-19 vaccinations for children ages six months to five years.
My grandson is going to be 4 in July. Everyone in the family is Vax and boosted. We are concerned about the side effects he will encountered. Also according to Consumer Lab, the dosage for children under 5 is very low, thus the efficacy is under 40 %. However the dosage for 5 years is higher, the efficacy is comparable to older children. We are on the fence, shall we have him Vax now or wait till he is 5. He has no problem wearing masks everywhere.
