Abstract

As U.S. travel restarts this summer, families are asking how to face the challenges that still remain for children who have not yet been cleared to receive a vaccination. Although infection by surface contact is low it may still be advisable to wipe down areas such as chairs in the terminal and the aircraft seat. Masks are still important as they are the most effective way to mitigate risk.
