Join Dr. Brumbaugh and the Children's Colorado ID Team on May 13 at 6 p.m. MST for the next COVID-19 Provider Town Hall, featuring live Q&A, Register now: https://bit.ly/2RoiezA

It has been almost a month since Pfizer requested to expand use of its COVID-19 vaccine to adolescents ages 12 to 15. The request asks the Food and Drug Administration to amend their vaccine's emergency use authorization, which the FDA originally granted late last year for people ages 16 and up. Meanwhile, our colleagues in Michigan are seeing record numbers of hospitalized pediatric patients, creating a greater sense of anticipation and urgency for the vaccine's approval down to age 12. In this episode we will delve into vaccines, variants, schools and more as we examine the latest impacts the pandemic has had on pediatrics.

Today we are fortunate to be joined once again by un-official Charting Pediatrics co-host, Dr. Sam Dominguez. And not only is Sam with us, but we have the expertise of returning Infectious Diseases experts Dr. Sean O'Leary and Dr. Jessica Cataldi.

For those of you who don't know, Children's Colorado has hosted virtual COVID-19 Town Halls for pediatricians since March 2020 – these Town Halls have been anchored and fueled by the expertise of Sam, Sean & Jess and we are exceptionally fortunate to be joined by all of them on the podcast today.
