The shots planned for children are 10 micrograms, a smaller dose than is given to adults. To be fully immunized, kids get two doses, spaced about 21 days apart. Vaccines for younger children are packaged in smaller vials and injected through smaller needles, too..

Jesse Hackell, MD, says he knows the feeling. He’s the chief operating officer of Pomona Pediatrics in Pomona, NY, and a spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Must be a slow news day… WTF, about his dad.

Trump sets up huge legal fight to keep White House records secretTrump's lawyers said a request by the congressional January 6 committee for records linked to the insurrection were 'invalid' under the Constitution. For an innocent, transparent, stable genius with great and unmatched wisdom, and nothing to hide, Donald spends an inordinate amount of time, money, and energy trying to keep things hidden. Odd, too, the material he's fighting to keep hidden would actually prove his innocence. Actually the constitution doesn’t give a former President powers to invoke privileges he doesn’t have. You are the “former” President, not the POTUS. Trump was still president, therefore the records request is absolutely valid.
