Abstract
Impact: The COVID-19 pandemic is not over, and its impact is just beginning to be felt on children.COVID-19 vaccines protect both the pregnant patient and newborns, and breastfeeding provides a key component of passive protective immunity.“Long COVID” has contributed to the current crisis in pediatric mental health, and vaccines confer protection against this long-term complication of COVID-19 disease.Vaccine misinformation is not only impacting compliance with maternal and pediatric COVID-19 immunization efforts, but also other routine childhood vaccinations.As a public health priority, we must improve our response to vaccine misinformation and find novel strategies to improve vaccine compliance.
