Hoosiers 5-through-11 years old began receiving the COVID-19 vaccine this week after its approval by the FDA. We talk with a pediatrician about what the new vaccine means for parents and children.  

Afghan evacuees began arriving in the United States more than two months ago. Now the process has turned to resettling them in a new country.   About 600 Afghans are expected to settle in Indiana.
