Federal health leaders recently recommended the COVID vaccine for children as young as 6-months, but unlike the height of the pandemic when most people were eager to roll up their sleeves, the new guidance has drawn hesitation from pediatricians and parents alike.
Dr. Jennifer Coren, a pediatrician at Hatboro Pediatrics, said she believes part of the pushback from doctors is due to the lack of information made available by health experts. She understands the hesitation about the shot from fellow pediatricians and parents, but she will still have her four children vaccinated.
The COVID pandemic turned a corner when vaccines became free and available to anyone who wanted the shot. Years later, Dr. Coren said state agencies started privatizing the vaccine with a steep price tag that is partly passed on to the patient.

Dezzerie Yanga, a mother of four children, said she was recently told by their pediatrician to hold off on getting her kids vaccinated for COVID.
