Prevention quotes Thomas A. Russo, MD, SUNY Distinguished Professor of medicine and chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases, in a story titled, "FDA Recommends COVID-19 Vaccines for Children Under 5 — What You Need to Know." Russo says that “the safety signals look good” and “the benefits far outweigh the risks,” when it comes to vaccinating children under five. “I don't have any children in this age group, but I would not hesitate to give them the vaccine if I did,” he says. Yahoo!
