Learn more about kids and the COVID-19 vaccination from this young man
On May 13, Isaac Bloom became the first child in the 12- to 15-year-old age group to receive the COVID-19 vaccine at PeaceHealth. His parents, both physicians in Bellingham, Washington, said "Isaac has been asking for weeks when he could get vaccinated because he would like to get things back to normal as soon as possible. We're really proud of him." Watch Isaac's video.
With summer coming and vaccine supplies more plentiful, there's no better time for you or your family (ages 12 and older) to get your COVID-19 shot. For the latest information on the coronavirus, visit our website.
