In this episode, we are joined by Frinny Polanco Walters, MD, MPH, a pediatrician and attending physician at Boston’s Children’s Hospital in the Division of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine. As we enter the second school year affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Polanco Walters offers considerations for adolescents, returning to the classroom, vaccinations, and the unintended consequences that have resulted over the past 18 months, including rising sexually transmitted infections (STI’s).
