I am currently at home in isolation with (mild) COVID. I’ve been thinking about why kids & teen COVID vaccines AND BOOSTERS are really important, right now. Here is my long 🧵: Pediatricians deeply understand risk/benefit of vaccines. As a peds ID doc, I see kids who fall through the "prevention cracks" including immeasurable suffering from severe tetanus, measles pneumonitis & SSPE, chickenpox encephalitis, pertussis, meningitis, and now COVID.

I want to remind everyone out there that WE CLINICIANS are also part of the vaccine safety surveillance system. My colleagues & I noticed the first cluster of US Pfizer myocarditis cases (the 7 teen boys). We quickly contacted CDC, AAP, and ACIP colleagues. It was a team effort. Our CDC colleagues listened. We shared that we found a safety signal before it met the VAERS threshold. The CDC & AAP created urgent messaging to clinicians & the public within several days. I talked to ACIP VAST members within 48 hours.

My daughter & I ran a few errands downtown today. Yes, downtown Portland. I want you to see that we are not under siege. It’s a beautiful day. Folks riding bikes and walking about. Here we are at the Justice Center, ~3 miles from our home. The epicenter of the war zone 🤡🤡🤡 This block and this fence have been seen all over the world. Do you see anything that requires federal emergency response here? 🙄

Listening to @sharpsgroup COVID-19 webinar, the NYC #pediatrics experience: Adam Rather from NYU Langone speaking on epi: NYC 1,523 cases age 0-17. Three confirmed fatalities. As of 4/8 NYU + Bellevue prelim data: approx 50-60 pos pediatric COVID tests (stresses underestimates real burden!). N=30 confirmed positive. N=8 infants of exposed moms all negative on DOL 0-1, and DOL 5 if still inpt.
