The CDC recommends vaccination against COVID-19 for everyone 5 years and older. However, parents who have sons and daughters with autism and other intellectual and developmental disabilities may have questions about vaccine safety. In this video, a parent of a child with autism shares her family’s story of educating themselves on vaccine safety and addresses additional concerns present in the Hispanic community.
This video was produced by the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities and Adelicia Company and made possible through a funding award from the U.S. Administration for Community Living, Department of Health and Human Services.
