HOUSTON – We are your vaccine central for the latest COVID-19 vaccine updates. From babies in the womb to teens, we are focusing on our kids and the COVID-19 vaccine. As more adults get the vaccine, when will it be ready for kids?
While kids typically are not getting serious cases of COVID-19, it is still important to think about vaccines for them because they can still transmit the virus.

Danielle Collins’ 12-year-old son Michael is ready.
“He’s the child of a healthcare provider and he hears the stories, and he understands the burden and I think he’s anxious to get past this as well,” said Collins.
The World Health Organization recommended pregnant women not to get the COVID-19 vaccine unless they are at high risk for exposure. Others say the choice is theirs.
