Everyone needs friends who are willing to take off their masks and have honest conversations.
Masks Off Live is created by Dr. Natasha Burgert and Dr. Nicole Baldwin, two long-time friends who happen to be pediatricians. Grab a glass of wine and listen in as they share evidence-based science and practical parenting advice.
In this Halloween 2021 Episode, Dr. Baldwin and I breakdown our big takeaways from the FDA meeting about Covid vaccine for 5-11-year-old kids and share our bottom line on the latest Covid vaccine booster data.
