Kids and the COVID vaccine: What should a parent know?

(BPT) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted an Emergency Use Authorization allowing adolescents ages 12-15 to get the COVID vaccine — another giant leap forward in the fight against this coronavirus.

Your 12-year-old is eligible for the COVID vaccine! Here’s what a pediatric epidemiologist wants you to know.

“We’re elated to be able to protect more people from COVID-19 through vaccination. We understand that parents may have questions before signing their kids up for the vaccine and we’re always happy to answer those questions and arm families with the information they need to feel comfortable. The biggest things I want parents to know are that this vaccine is safe, effective and our best shot at beating COVID-19,” said Dr. Emily Godbout, epidemiologist and infectious diseases specialist at Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU.

Dr. Godbout answers some of the most common questions parents have about the COVID-19 vaccine for adolescents.

Which vaccine is available for kids ages 12+?

The FDA’s most recent EUA is specifically for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for children 12-15 years old. This is currently the only COVID vaccine authorized for people under 18.

How do we know it’s safe?

Before the FDA grants an EUA, vaccines go through a rigorous series of trials. Children’s immune systems are different from adults' and they can even vary at different ages. Vaccines are fully tested on specific age groups for their unique stages of development. EUAs are granted for age groups only once the vaccines have proved to be safe and effective. Multiple federal partners are working together to ensure that the COVID-19 vaccines are as safe as possible.

The COVID-19 vaccines were developed rapidly not because corners were cut, but because they were a top priority and, thankfully, research on a COVID-19 vaccine didn’t have to start from scratch. Scientists have significant prior experience working with other coronaviruses such as SARS and MERS.

Will the COVID-19 vaccine impact fertility?

There is no evidence that any COVID-19 vaccine causes fertility problems. In fact, many professional organizations support and encourage women who are interested in becoming pregnant to get a COVID-19 vaccine since it offers great protection.

Is the COVID vaccine dose for adolescents the same as for adults?

Yes. For the groups approved thus far, the same dose is given no matter the person’s age or size. This is really because the vaccine impacts the immune system, rather than muscles, bones or fat, which are what influence a person’s weight. As studies continue on younger children, we may find that smaller doses are recommended based on the needs and responses of their immune systems.

Are side effects the same in kids and adults?

The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine trials showed that side effects observed in the 12-15 age group were generally consistent with those in the 16-25-year-olds. Mild side effects — such as arm pain, fatigue, headaches, muscle aches, chills and fever — are a sign the body is building protection. While they can be annoying, they should go away in a couple days.

How much does the COVID vaccine cost?

There is no out-of-pocket cost for the COVID vaccine, no matter where you receive it. Vaccine administration fees are covered by insurance, Medicaid, Medicare or the federal government for individuals without insurance.

Where can kids 12 and up get the COVID vaccine?

Many health care providers and pharmacies are providing the COVID-19 vaccine. Contact your child’s pediatrician or primary care provider for information about availability, or register with your state’s health department to be notified when it’s their turn for the vaccine.

Will the COVID vaccine be required for school in the fall?

This decision will be up to the individual school districts. For the upcoming school year, it will likely be encouraged rather than required for the authorized age groups. Some colleges and universities, on the other hand, have implemented a COVID vaccine requirement for the 2021-22 academic year. This is certainly something to watch closely as kids and teens prepare for the new school year.

Proteja su audición cuando el ruido invada su vida

(BPT) - Estamos rodeados de sonidos todos los días. El tráfico, la televisión, los eventos deportivos y la música son solo algunos de los sonidos que nos son familiares. Los sonidos alegres nos traen placer y los de advertencia (como la bocina de un automóvil) ayudan a protegernos del peligro. Sin embargo, algunos sonidos pueden dañar la audición, a veces en un solo instante y a menudo de forma permanente.

Los resultados de las pruebas de audición sugieren que en los Estados Unidos casi uno de cada cuatro adultos de 20 a 69 años de edad puede padecer pérdida de audición inducida por el ruido en uno o ambos oídos. Una forma en que ocurre este tipo de pérdida de audición es al dañarse los “estereocilios” (las pequeñas estructuras similares a cabellos ubicadas en la parte superior de las células ciliadas sensoriales del oído interno), debido a ruidos demasiado fuertes o de duración prolongada. Si se dañan los estereocilios, no pueden transmitir con precisión la información del sonido hacia el cerebro.

Mientras más fuerte sea el sonido, más daño puede causar y más rápido se produce el daño. Al principio, la pérdida de audición no es tan perceptible, pero con el paso del tiempo puede empeorar. Por ejemplo, puede ocurrir que de pronto las palabras le suenen amortiguadas y le resulten más difíciles de comprender.

La buena noticia es que se puede prevenir la pérdida de audición inducida por el ruido. Reconocer los peligros relacionados con los sonidos perjudiciales puede ayudarle a proteger su audición y a salvaguardar la salud auditiva de su familia.

La mejor manera de proteger su audición y prevenir la pérdida inducida por el ruido es evitar los sonidos fuertes y las actividades ruidosas siempre que sea posible. Cuando pueda, baje el volumen de la televisión y los reproductores de música, y aléjese de los ruidos dañinos. Si el ruido fuerte es inevitable, use tapones de oídos u orejeras con protección auditiva.

El Instituto Nacional de la Sordera y Otros Trastornos de la Comunicación (NIDCD, por sus siglas en inglés), que forma parte de los Institutos Nacionales de la Salud, ofrece consejos útiles para proteger su audición. El video Protección de la audición: Cómo usar los tapones de oídos moldeables muestra la forma correcta de insertarse los tapones de espuma, que se pueden adquirir a bajo costo. Por su parte, el video Protección de la audición: Cómo usar los tapones de oídos premoldeados muestra la forma correcta de usar los tapones premoldeados, que son ideales para conciertos y otras actividades en las que desea proteger su audición sin perder la calidad del sonido.

Las orejeras son otro tipo de protector auditivo que son fáciles de usar, pero es posible que no funcionen eficazmente en las personas que usan gafas o anteojos, o que usan peinados que crean espacios donde el sonido pudiera penetrar en el oído. Mientras tanto, las orejeras de protección auditiva pueden ser una buena opción para los niños, porque son más fáciles de usar que los tapones de oídos.

El uso simultáneo de orejeras de protección auditiva y de tapones de oídos puede reducir el sonido aún más y es una buena opción para entornos muy ruidosos como talleres de carpintería y eventos de tiro deportivo.

Es fácil comprar protección auditiva porque muchos establecimientos, especialmente los centros de jardinería y las ferreterías, venden tapones de oídos y orejeras de protección auditiva Ambos también son fáciles de encontrar en diversas tiendas de Internet.

Si desea identificar los ruidos dañinos, utilice una aplicación gratuita que mida los decibelios para determinar los niveles de los sonidos en su entorno. Un ejemplo es la aplicación del Medidor de sonido, creada para usarse con dispositivos iOS por el Instituto Nacional para la Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional (NIOSH, por sus siglas en inglés), parte de los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC, por sus siglas en inglés).

Para obtener más información sobre cómo proteger su audición, lea la hoja de información sobre protectores de oídos del NIDCD. Mantenga su salud auditiva para poder disfrutar de la gran variedad de sonidos que nos ofrece la vida a diario.

4 fun car-related activities to do with kids

(BPT) - Got kids who love cars? Whether your child (or your student) is a preschooler, a teenager or somewhere in between, here are some creative ways to keep kids happily engaged at home while they’re dreaming about cars. These activities are appropriate for any age to help nurture and inspire a fascination with cars.

1. Take a virtual field trip to a car factory

For kids who are curious about how cars are actually made, you can virtually visit one of nine U.S. manufacturing plants and automotive experience centers at TourToyota.com. You and your child will be able to see how the many people — and robots — work together to make each vehicle in a behind-the-scenes look at manufacturing plants around the country. Each tour is a little different, so it’s worth checking them all out to find your favorite.

If your kid is interested in learning about the vehicles of the future and robotics, you can watch a video to learn about the latest cutting-edge research on artificial intelligence and automated vehicles at TeenDrive365inschool.com/CarsOfTheFuture.

2. Read or listen to stories about cars

For younger children, you can read along with YouTube videos featuring popular children’s books about cars, such as “If I Built a Car” by Chris van Dusen and “Going Places” by Peter and Paul Reynolds.

Or for older kids and teens, you can listen to podcasts about cars on the series CarStories, such as “How to Design Cars”, a discussion with real-life car designers about how they first began their lifelong love of everything automotive — by drawing cars when they were young kids.

3. Watch a video about automotive design

Check out the short video “Making the Origami-Inspired Lexus” for a mind-blowing look at how a couple of designers used cutting-edge technology to create a complex, detailed replica sculpture of a Lexus IS car — that’s actually drivable by real humans! — out of corrugated cardboard, complete with wheels, seats, headlights and more.

Also, see an automotive designer from Toyota's CALTY Design Research team demonstrate how he sketched out an idea for what became the 2021 redesign of the Toyota Sienna minivan.

4. Draw your dream car

First, let your imagination go wild. What would your dream car look like? Would it fly or swim? Does it look like a train or an animal? Dream of the coolest car you can come up with. Then follow these steps:

• Gather materials. To start, you’ll need paper, pencil and an eraser.
  
  
• Decide the shape. Sketch lightly, focusing on the overall shape. Draw your car at a slight angle to show both the front and the side. This is called "three-quarter perspective."
  
  
• Fill in details. Draw the parts your car needs. For example, will it have wheels, or will it move differently? Use darker lines or add color to highlight each part of your car.
  
  
• Refine and complete. Retrace shapes and angles of your car as needed. Erase light lines and strengthen the most important outlines. Shade with your pencil to give the car depth and perspective. Congratulations! You've drawn a car!

Now that you know the basics, it’s time to practice and add a little imagination — and maybe win a prize. The Toyota Dream Car USA Art Contest encourages kids ages 4-15 to draw their ideas of the future of transportation. Flying cars, underground passages, space exploration or magnificent beasts: no idea is off limits. But there are some rules.

The original illustrations must be done on paper using colored pencils, crayons, markers and/or paint (any kind). No digital tools or elements may be used. All submissions must be accompanied by a completed entry form signed by a parent or legal guardian. Each year, nine winners receive first, second and third place in each of three age categories (4-7 years, 8-11 years, 12-15 years). Prizes include a Toyota MasterCard^® Reward Card, a ready-to-frame copy of the artwork and an award certificate. For details about this free youth art contest, go to ToyotaDreamCarUSA.com.
