Dr. Zeke Emanuel: Vaccinating children 5 and above ‘seems like it’s a no brainer’

MSNBC February 2, 2022 - [[Andrea Mitchell]] Reports

Dr. Zeke Emanuel joins Kristen Welker to discuss Pfizer’s submission of their Covid vaccine for kids under five amid low vaccination numbers for eligible children. “With the omicron variant, kids are either going to get the vaccine or they're likely to get a serious condition of omicron,” says Emanuel. “I am confused about parents’ attitude. Five and above, seems like it's a no brainer.” ((https://web.archive.org/web/20220202202806/https://www.msnbc.com/andrea-mitchell-reports/watch/dr-zeke-emanuel-vaccinating-children-5-and-above-seems-like-it-s-a-no-brainer-132282949889))

As coronavirus cases and hospitalizations continue to rise, the Biden administration is aiming to make high-quality masks available to all Americans for free. Ezekiel J. Emanuel, MD and [[Céline Gounder MD]], former health advisers to President Biden’s transition team, join Washington Post Live to lay out a new national strategy for living with COVID-19, rather than continuing efforts to eradicate the virus. They will also discuss the latest developments with the omicron variant, the national booster campaign, testing and mounting pressure on the U.S. health-care system as staff shortages and lack of ICU beds complicate care.

“What we know about vaccines and long covid is very promising and reassuring in that people who have been vaccinated are less likely to develop long covid if they have a breakthrough infection after vaccination, and we’re also seeing increasing evidence that if you vaccinate somebody who has long covid, that can help reorient the immune system and essentially help treat them.” 

“The best way to protect kids under 5, to protect the immunocompromised is to disseminate vaccinations throughout the population and bring the case count and the circulating viruses down so that there’s a slower chance that those vulnerable groups will be exposed to virus. We’re not getting to zero, we’re reducing the risks.” ((https://web.archive.org/web/20220126184042/https://www.washingtonpost.com/washington-post-live/2022/01/19/coronavirus-national-strategy-with-ezekiel-j-emanuel-md-celine-gounder-md/))
