“My wing is feeling a little sore, but it’ll give my body an extra protective boost that keeps me and others healthy.”

“Ms. @EricaRHill even said I’ve been getting vaccines since I was a little bird. I had no idea!” he added, referring to the CNN journalist, who joined Big Bird and Dr. Sanjay Gupta for the The ABCs of Vaccines Town Hall hosted by CNN and Sesame Street that morning.
