With many children returning to school, questions about the coronavirus pandemic– particularly the Delta variant — and children’s health risks have become even more pressing. What do we know about the variant’s impact on children in particular? When might we expect COVID-19 vaccines for younger children? What role might indoor mask use play in mitigating risk? And how does the global picture differ from the U.S.? Join Marc Lipsitch, Professor of Epidemiology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and The World’s Elana Gordon for this live online Q&A.
