Elmo just got a Covid-19 vaccine shot — in a new public service announcement from Sesame Workshop aimed at persuading human parents to get their young kids Covid shots, too.

Elmo innocently asks when that will be, to which Karli’s foster mom explains they’re not sure. But “what we do know is that Karlie belongs here now.”
