“A lot of people like to consult Dr. Google,” says an Anchorage pediatrician. “That can cause a lot of problems because there’s a lot of misinformation.”
ByDr. Jeff Brand works in his office at the Providence Alaska Medical Center in Eagle River.
Dr. Killian Schafer, a pediatrician at the Children’s Clinic, said he’s still getting a lot of the same questions from parents as he did in November, when the CDC authorized the vaccine for children from 5 to 11 years old. He said he tries to address parents’ concerns, and explain how getting kids vaccinated can help other family members.
“A lot of people like to consult Dr. Google,” he said. “That can cause a lot of problems because there’s a lot of misinformation.” Dr. Jeff Brand is a pediatrician with Providence Alaska Medical Center in Anchorage and Eagle River. Because parents are already confused about mRNA vaccines, he said, misinformation is that much more effective.
