Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, there’s been a slow decline in influenza vaccine uptake, particularly among children. But vaccination for our youngest patients is absolutely critical, especially amid this season’s potential tridemic between COVID-19, RSV, and the flu. So what concerns or misconceptions do parents have that may make them more hesitant to get their child vaccinated, and what counseling strategies can we use to address those concerns? Here with Dr. Paul Doghramji to discuss how we can increase influenza vaccination rates among pediatric patients is Dr. Suchitra Rao, Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Pediatric Hospital Medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
