Hello Acton Families,

We believe you should be informed about this opportunity and should also learn as much as possible as the parent/guardian of children.

There is an online forum via Zoom on Tuesday, November 9th beginning at 6pm.

Please read for more information:

The CDC has recently recommended 5 to 11 year old children receive the COVID-19 vaccine, offering a way for parents to protect their children and families from COVID-19 infection. Join MECAP for a forum featuring Maine pediatricians as they share information about children and the COVID-19 vaccine and give advice on what to consider when making the decision to vaccinate children against COVID-19. There will be time for questions from the audience.
