The health and well-being of our kids is vitally important to all parents. And we’re thankful that we’ve been given the opportunity to talk with families about a health decision facing parents of kids five and older, whether they should get COVID vaccines, it has been a really loud and confusing couple of years and it can be hard to know who to listen to.
On this special bonus podcast episode of Let’s Talk, Amanda Chavez and Liz Schultz are joined by Appleton locals, Dr. Lee Vogel and Sonja Jensen, to provide their expertise on vaccines for kids, and to answer questions that we and other parents have about this vaccine.
