Engaging with such a reputable foundation is a pleasure. They asked for permission to publish polio stories from survivors in our network. 
​With the permission of each of those survivors, the stories have now been shared.

We have had the privilege to work with the Vaccine Education Center of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).  They are thorough, science based and trusted worldwide for their vaccine information for both children AND adults.  These six videos are part of a series titled: 
“Perspectives on COVID-19 Vaccine for Kids”.
