Dr. Michael Daignault broke down the latest on pediatric COVID vaccines — the American Academy of Pediatrics is recommending shots for kids as young as 6 months to 23 months, but their guidance doesn’t exactly line up with the CDC’s, and questions remain on whether insurance will fully cover them.  The heat was on — literally.
