Arwady: We still have almost 550 new cases of COVID every day. That's high risk in general. "But the thing that is different now is that, that risk is completely bifurcated on whether it's a highly vaccinated setting."
Arwady: We're doing a lot of planning on what it will look like to vaccinate adolescents. Could be update on that soon.
Arwady: Certainly this summer, I expect we'll be vaccinating children as young as 12.
"If I had to take a guess, I would think probably this fall" is when they'd be vaccinating kids 6-11. But that's a guess.

Arwady: The preliminary info looks good that when pregnant folks get vaccinated, their babies get some protection to COVID and aren't hurt by the vaccines.
Arwady: People having side effects to the vaccines, it's a sign you have a robust immune system.
We do see people having more side effects after the second dose than first, but not a big change.

Arwady: "Many, many people don't have side effects at all."
Arwady: You getting vaccinated is your ticket to getting back to the things you love doing.
The sooner people do that, the sooner and more safely we're going to be able to get back to doing the things we all love.
