What Local Experts Advise on Vaccinations T
HIS AUGUST WE’RE TAKING A closer look at vaccinations – all types and for all ages. While Covid-19 vaccinations have been in the news often in the past years, there are many more life-saving immunizations that everyone needs to keep current as well. For this feature we checked in with Dr. Lori Handy at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia for her recommendation to give the Covid-19 vaccine to young kids (from 6 months to 5 years). Dr. Diana Kudes of Suburban Hospital reminds parents
that kids of all ages need other vaccinations as they return to school, daycare and playgrounds where diseases can easily spread. And parents need to remember to stay current on important vaccinations as part of a lifelong process, according to Dr. RaidaRabah of Chester County Hospital. Finally, Dr. Raymond Carter of ChristianaCare urges seniors to get necessary vaccinations — they have nothing to lose and everything to gain. We hope you find something helpful in these pages. And here’s to your health!
