This not only risks the lives of innocent children, but threatens the success of mass immunity. In this WEBINAR, a diverse group of experts from the fields of pediatric medicine, higher education, pharma and public health will discuss strategies to help families of color feel safer about getting the COVID-19 vaccine. Learn more about how you can ensure that all our sons and daughters get their shots. Let’s end this pandemic together!
