Mildred Matthews, 4, of Beaverton, Oregon, came to OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital on June 25, 2022, with her mother, Suzanne Gray, to receive her first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. Mildred was smiling and confident until the needle came close to her skin, when she showed signs of worry. But Mildred’s fear quickly evaporated thanks to her mom’s calming presence.
