Impact
  • The COVID-19 pandemic is not over, and its impact is just beginning to be felt on children.
  • COVID-19 vaccines protect both the pregnant patient and newborns, and breastfeeding provides a key component of passive protective immunity.
  • “Long COVID” has contributed to the current crisis in pediatric mental health, and vaccines confer protection against this long-term complication of COVID-19 disease.
  • Vaccine misinformation is not only impacting compliance with maternal and pediatric COVID-19 immunization efforts, but also other routine childhood vaccinations.
  • As a public health priority, we must improve our response to vaccine misinformation and find novel strategies to improve vaccine compliance.
