Good Morning CHD

Should children be allowed to consent to medical procedures without the knowledge of their parents? For example, when kids are offered vaccines at school-based health centers, should the staff be required to communicate that to the legal guardian? Who is responsible for communicating family history to those administering care? What happens when a child is injured by a certain product or operation? And on whom does the financial and caretaking burden fall in such a situation? Listen to a detailed deliberation on these matters and to learn how the courts are fighting back against threats to the “vulnerable” younger generations in this episode of ‘Good Morning CHD.’
