“Vaccines” - VaxTeen Founder on Minor Issues Podcast
Every year, millions of teens miss out on their vaccines. That's something Kelly, the founder of VaxTeen, is determined to stop. This week, I talked with Kelly about what vaccines are, why they're important, and how the anti-vax movement affects teens. She also provides some insight on the COVID-19 vaccine, and how teens can get involved. Hope you enjoy!
I'd highly encourage you to visit Kelly's website, voicesforvax.org, in order to see how your state addresses minor consent to vaccines. She also provides guides on what every vaccine does, and allows you to track current legislation you can support.
