SUMMARY
This webinar is presented in collaboration with and with special thanks to ISTM's Pediatric Interest Group and Migrant Health Interest Group, with particular gratitude to the respective Chairs: Eyal Leshem (Pediatric) and Sapha Barkati (Migrant Health).
Even though young people make up a very small proportion of severe cases and deaths due to COVID-19, the impact of school closures, social isolation, economic hardship etc. in such a vulnerable population has been enormous. High-risk groups such as migrant children living in precarious conditions or in detention facilities bear a disproportionate burden of adverse outcomes due to the pandemic. Furthermore, rare but serious complications such as multi-systemic inflammatory syndrome can affect some children and adolescents. Vaccines will offer a way out from the pandemic, but data on safety and efficacy in younger population are still lacking, since they were not included in earlier studies and are not being prioritized to receive the vaccine.
Our experts will share with you the latest data on the effects of COVID-19 on children and adolescents’ health, and their insights on possible solutions.
Course Objectives
By the end of this webinar, the attendee should be able to:
1. Discuss the impact of COVID-19 on migrant children and their families;
2. Recognize the clinical presentations of severe COVID-19 disease in children and adolescents;
3. Summarize the recommendations for safe travel with children during the pandemic, and;
4. Discuss the best vaccine candidates for this population and, if available, the most pertinent results of COVID-19 vaccine trials in children.

She lives vicariously through her patients to learn as much as she can about the places she hasn’t yet visited.
