MEMPHIS, Tenn. — As of Thursday, 119 new COVID-19 cases in children were reported in Shelby County. Eleven are currently hospitalized and two on ventilators. As the push for vaccination continues, the youngest have stepped up to make their voices heard.

If the plea for getting vaccinated isn’t enough from health experts, maybe our youth can take the lead.

“Recently, we’ve seen the number of people who have contracted COVID-19 continue to rise. We want to help put a stop to that,” said Shelby Williams, Shelby County Youth Council member.

High school students such as Williams are appealing straight to you, the public, the people eligible for the vaccine.
