Episode 502: CO-KID – vaccine for kids

In episode 502, James, Mike Kolber and Tony Nickonchuk get together to talk about the easy question (just kidding) of COVID vaccines for children and adolescents. We discuss the best evidence we could find around efficacy and adverse effects in these age groups and hopefully give enough context so that you go from murky to somewhat less cloudy as to what we know and don’t know about this topic.
