Theresa Hogan from Minneapolis Health Department answers questions parents may have on kids getting COVID-19 vaccinations before returning to school.
A
A
B
Thank
you
michael
thank
you
for
having
me
on
the
show,
hello,
everyone.
My
name
is
theresa
hogan.
I
work
for
the
minneapolis
health
department.
I
work
under
maternal
child
health
and
my
background
is
in
nursing
a
little
bit
about
myself.
I
was
born
and
raised
in
minnesota.
I
grew
up
in
northeast
minneapolis,
I'm
married.
I
have
two
children
a
four-year-old
and
a
six-year-old,
so
a
child
entering
pre-k
and
another
one
entering
first
grade.
B
My
work
is
in
vaccine
hesitancy,
so
that's
where
I
my
focus
is
being
under
maternal
child
health.
I
obviously
focus
on
mothers
and
childrens
and
a
big
part
of
my
work
is
focusing
on
vaccine
hesitancy
and
immunizations
in
underserved
communities.
So
I
work
with
community
partners
who
live
and
work
in
the
community
to
be
trusted
messengers
of
povid19
education
and
as
well
as
childhood,
immunizations.
C
B
And
there's
so
when
you
talk
about
primary
covid
vaccination,
so
that's
completing,
like
a
two
dose
series
of
the
pfizer
vaccine,
a
tudor
series
of
the
moderna
vaccine
and
there
are
also
boosters
available.
So
there
is
one
booster
vaccine
that's
available
for
anyone
that
is
five
years
and
older
after
they've
completed
that
primary
covin
19
vaccine
series
and
then
two
boosters
are
recommended
for
those
that
are
50
and
older
or
those
that
are
moderately
or
severely
immunocompromised.
So
if
you
have
asthma
cancer
obesity,
those
would
be
risk
factors
for
you.
B
That's
a
great
question:
so
children
should
be
vaccinated
against
covid19,
because
we
know
that
children
can
get
very
sick.
They
can
require
treatment
in
the
hospital
and
in
rare
situations,
even
die
from
covid19
the
benefit
of
receiving
the
covid19
vaccination.
It's
safer.
It's
a
more
reliable
way
to
build
that
protection
than
risking
the
potentially
serious
consequences
of
getting
sick
with
covid19.
B
19
vaccine
is
safe
for
children,
for
adults,
for
anyone
6
months
or
older.
There
are
a
set
of
standards
that
vaccines
need
to
go
through
to
even
get
to
the
point
where
we
are
using
it
to
vaccinate
people.
So
it's
very
safe.
You
know
the
continued
safety
of
it
is
being
monitored
every
day.
You
know
there
are
scientists
that
are
continually
monitoring
this
data.
There
are
also
when
you
get
your
covid
vaccine
you're,
given
an
opportunity
to
enroll
in
what
they
call
be
safe,
and
so
this
is
kind
of
just
a
self.
B
A
A
B
Yes,
these
children
and
teens
that
have
had
a
coca-19
infection
in
the
past
should
definitely
be
vaccinated
against
19..
We
do
know
from
the
data
that
the
immunity
against
kova
19
will
wane,
meaning
like
it
will
wear
down
wear
off
over
time,
and
so
the
way
that
you
can
get
that
added
protection
is
by
getting
vaccinated
even
if
you've
been
infected
with
covid19.
B
Yeah,
so
parents
and
caregivers
they
should
vaccinate
their
children
as
soon
as
vaccines
are
available
to
them
getting
vaccinated.
It
provides
the
best
protection
for
that
child
against
serious
illness
if
they
do
get
infected
and
since
there's
really
no
way
for
us
to
tell
in
advance
how
healthy
or
immunocompromised
children
will
be
if
they
become
affected
by
covenanting,
it's
important
to
get
them
vaccinated
as
soon
as
possible
to
protect
them
against
severe
illness.
B
I
can
speak
as
a
mother
to
this
question
too.
So
when
I
brought
my
four-year-old
son
in
for
his
well-child
visit,
you
know
we
were
there
to
get
him
vaccinated
against
coven
19,
but
also
he
was
due
for
other
immunizations
and
as
a
mother
I
thought
you
know.
Will
this
be
too
many
vaccines?
Is
this
too
much
for
my
son,
but
I
had
a
great
conversation
with
this
pediatrician
we
talked
it
over.
We
decided
that
you
know
having
a
little
sore
arm
would
outweigh
the
risk
of
you
know
getting
that
severe
illness.
A
B
Yeah,
that's
a
great
question.
You
know
we
encourage
folks
to
go
to
their
primary
clinic
to
their
community
clinic.
This
provides
the
best
opportunity
for
the
parent,
the
child.
You
know
their
clinic
to
see
if
there
are
other
immunizations.
If
there
are
any
other
supports
that
are
needed
for
that
child,
especially
before
now,
knowing
that
the
school
year
will
be
starting
soon.
B
A
While
we
are
talking
about
vaccines
in
school,
are
there
other
vaccinations
that
children
need
before
starting
school
we're
talking
about
cover
19?
But
what
about
other?
You
know,
vaccines
that
that
kids
really
need
for
annual
like
every
year
we
have
children
that
have
to
go
and
get
their
vaccine
before
they
start
schools,
so
people.
So
parents
don't
are
not
confused
between
copenhagen
vaccines
and
regular
vaccine
or
destination
for
children
to
go
back
to
school.
B
Yes
great
question:
there
is
an
immunization
schedule
that
primary
care
providers
and
pediatricians
follow
according
to
the
child's
age.
So
you
know
without
getting
into
I
think
kind
of
the
specifics,
because
that
can
get
overwhelming
as
well.
So
I
know
children
receive
most
of
their
vaccinations
from
that
birth
to
four
years
old,
so
they're
receiving
the
hepatitis,
a
hepatitis
b,
the
diphtheria
tetanus,
polio,
mmr,
a
vaccine
that
we
call
the
hib
vaccine,
the
pneumococcal
varcella
rotavirus,
and
you
know
it's.
B
The
important
thing
is
not
to
remember
like
the
specific
names
of
these.
You
know.
When
you
go
to
your
clinic,
they
will
be
able
to
look
up
those
vaccines.
They
know
the
schedule
it's
just
kind
of
knowing
like
that
timeline.
So
your
first
important
set
of
vaccines
is
from
that
birth
to
four
years
old
and
then
the
next
set
is
before
a
child
enters
kindergarten,
so
that
five
to
six
year
old
range.
C
A
Thank
you
so
much

out

radio.
That
answer
question
for
today's
shows

the
work
that

I
personally
my
families
I

kids,
make
sure
that
they
give
their
vaccinations
and
their
covert
vaccine
as
well.
A
