	Description:		On Thursday, Pfizer submitted an emergency request to the FDA for the COVID-19 vaccine for children from 5 to 11. The company says the request is "an important step in our ongoing effort" to battle the coronavirus. On this week's episode of 1010 WINS In Depth, we wanted to provide more information to parents who may still have questions about giving their children the vaccine. First, we speak to Nisha Gandhi, a parent and a doctor who has her 10-year-old daughter participating in the Pfizer kids' clinical trial. We also spoke to Sharon Nachman, Chief of Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases Stony Brook Medicine, who answered questions that we gathered from parents on social media. Also, please welcome Rabia Gursoy to our podcast. Rabia is the Audacy New York news fellow and part of the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University.
