With the recent authorization of COVID-19 vaccines for children ages 5-11 and the expansion of boosters to anyone 16 and older, mothers can breathe a sigh of relief as protection from serious illness is available to more members of their family and loved ones.

Karyne Jones, President and Chief Executive Officer of the National Caucus and Center on Black Aging, Inc. “COVID-19 has taken a huge toll on our nation’s older adults. Many have found themselves among the most vulnerable and isolated during the pandemic, but the vaccines have literally been a life saver and represent the path back to a more normal life.
