The F.D.A. on Friday cleared the use of Pfizer-BioNTech’s coronavirus vaccine for children ages 5-11 under an emergency use authorization. What does that mean for Michigan kids?

Today on Stateside, Michigan's new chief medical executive Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian talked to us about the plan to roll out COVID vaccines for kids ages 5 to 11. Then, we spoke to the superintendent of Ann Arbor Public Schools about staffing shortages and other challenges during the ongoing pandemic. And, we celebrate the spooky season with Halloween enthusiasts, both real and imagined.
