Misinformation or distrust of vaccines can be like a contagion that can spread as fast as measles.
What we know is that people who outright refuse vaccines are a very small group.
But we might be talking about a significant percentage of parents that have questions about vaccines - and we need to answer them. We need to give them the scientifically based, credible answer.
COVID-19 is a serious public health threat.
Our collective scientific knowledge of COVID-19 continues to grow.
If you can get a cotton material like a T-shirt, you cut it up, you fold it and put elastic bands around it - this is a non-medical facial covering.
What we worry about is actually the potential negative aspects of wearing a mask, where people are not protecting their eyes, or other aspects of where the virus could enter your body, and that gives you a false sense of confidence.
If you've got a mask around your face sometimes you can't help it because you're just touching parts of your face.
We're always looking at science as it evolves.
