This week, the US Food and Drug Administration is expected to review data on the Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines for younger children.

Add precautions to protect unvaccinated children, and it can be even harder to get support from the community.

While some families hesitate or refuse to vaccinate their young children, for many, the news brings a huge sigh of relief.
