Every second gentlemen in the United States, Mr. Duggan. I also particularly want to thank Mayor Tom Barrett and our children's Wisconsin CEO, Peggy Troy for the warm welcome that they've given us here today. And perhaps most important, let me just take a moment here to acknowledge the tragedy last month and Walker shot. I know that so many in this room, continue to feel the pain and the trauma that resulted from this act of violence. I know that you feel it is survivors and witnesses. To this terrible act. You feel it, his family members, his friends, his neighbors. You feel it. It's the people who cared for many of these children, right here in this hospital. I particularly want to thank the hospital staff here for the role that you played in responding to this tragedy. Whether you're a doctor, a nurse, a technician, a therapist or receptionist or the maintenance staff, you were part of a critical team that helped support families in some of the most difficult and terrifying moments that anyone can experience. I want you to know that our nation is so grateful for you. We have not forgotten about you. We will not forget about you. And you will remain in our minds and our hearts as you continue to process to heal and to grieve. Today I want to talk about another challenge that our community is facing. And that's COVID-19. And I particularly want to talk about our kids and COVID-19 Because I know that all of us here believe that we have a sacred responsibility to protect our children during the COVID 19 pandemic. One of the most challenging questions for parents, parents like me, and like many of you, has been how do we protect our children and that's why the recent FDA authorizations of a vaccine for kids five through 11 was such a big deal. Today what we want to convey to parents clearly is that this vaccine will help protect our children and our communities from COVID-19 Because we know two critical things about the vaccine, number one, it works and number two, it has a strong safety profile. This vaccine was tailored for children. The dose is lower about a third of the adult dose. It also went through clinical trials specific for kids five through 11. And after a careful rigorous review of the data by independent scientists, the authorization was an issue. It's important that people know that in the review that the FDA conducted they follow the same high standards that apply to all vaccines. There were no corners cut. And here's what they found is that the side effects is a trial including fatigue headaches. Occasionally a fever, but the side effects lasted for a day or two, leaving our kids with protection against COVID-19. Very importantly, they saw no serious adverse effects. Now what about the effectiveness of this vaccine? Well, in their trials of vaccines were more than 90% effective at preventing our children from developing symptomatic COVID-19. As far as vaccines go, and I say this as a doctor has prescribed many vaccines over the years. This is a very strong result. So all of this together has been very reassuring. It's a reason that I took my five year old son to get vaccinated just a few weeks ago, is the reason why over 5 million kids have gotten vaccinated in the five to 11 age group already. And here's why this is so important because while our kids are less at risk of bad outcomes with COVID compared to older adults, we know that COVID is not harmless and children. No one knows that better than the staff of a children's hospital. During this pandemic, our country has sadly lost hundreds of children to COVID-19. We've had 1000s of kids hospitalized due to COVID and as we face the reality of another variant, the Omicron variant. Getting vaccinated has never been more important that we're still learning more about the mercon variants. But everything that we have seen so far with this variant and with other variants has reaffirmed to us that those who are vaccinated are much better off to those who are not vaccinated. The vaccines continue to afford us protection against the worst outcomes of COVID particularly hospitalization and death. In the end, this vaccine won't just keep our kids healthy and safe. It will also allow them to regain the parts of their lives that they've missed during this pandemic, schools, sports and art programs, visits with grandparents and cousins, the parts of life that bring joy, growth and meaning.
