Abstract

Two pediatricians share perspectives on patient experience and delivery, future health care encounters, and social implications during the coronavirus 2019 pandemic. Collateral effects may comprise the most significant impacts on children, from limitations on hospital visitors, to closures of child-friendly hospital playrooms during this pandemic, to an alarming decrease in vaccination rates. Educational disparities will also likely widen, especially among those with limited access to technology at home. [Pediatr Ann. 2020;49(9):e403-e404.].
