Crawford went to Yonkers to see what parents plan to do if the vaccine is approved.
Some parents say they will vaccinate their young
children as soon as they can, whereas
other parents say they will not have their child vaccinated and they are not
vaccinated themselves.
"I spoke to my pediatrician the other day
and he said since it's not available, we're not going to really have a
conversation about it, but he said that being that the kids are getting so sick
now, maybe it's something we can talk about when it's approved,” says
Yonkers parent Tracey Angelori.
Health officials recommend parents also consult
with an infectious disease expert with specialized knowledge of COVID-19—
they can give specific advice for each family
member.
