If so, watch Dr. Paul Offit, Director of the Vaccine Education Center, and Dr. Beachgem10, a TikTok Creator and a pediatric emergency medicine physician, discuss these and other common vaccine-related topics, including the contagiousness of COVID-19 and measles viruses, considerations when it comes to 5- to 11-year-olds and COVID-19, and individual rights and vaccines.
