Dr. John Torres and Dr. Celine Gounder join Andrea Mitchell to discuss the importance of parents getting their children vaccinated, as misinformation has caused many to be hesitant. “This is not a benign illness. COVID is not the flu, even in children,” says Dr. Gounder. “Around 100 kids between 5 and 11 have died from COVID, and when kids get COVID it does seem to cause more severe illness than the flu.”Oct. 26, 2021
