A Conversation on COVID-19 Vaccines for Children with Dr. Umair Shah

Health

The Washington State Women’s Commission is proud to host Dr. Umair Shah, Secretary of Health for Washington State, in a conversation with Women’s Commission Director Regina Malveaux & Commissioner Anna Franklin.

On November 11, 2021, the CDC issued their recommendation for children ages 5-11 years old to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. For many parents waiting to vaccinate their kids, this was welcome news. But many parents still have concerns about the side effects posed by the vaccine and are hesitant to book their shots.

Join us as we hear from Dr. Shah as he addresses the most common questions and concerns about the recent approval of the COVID-19 vaccine for children between the ages of 5 and 11.

Due to the limited time which Dr. Shah will have available, please submit questions in advance on the following Google form. The form will be open to submissions until Friday, November 26, 2021 at 5:00pm PST.
