Children ages 5–11 are finally eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
This news may bring relief to many parents. But it also opens up a whole new batch of questions.
Is your child scared to get the shot? Will he or she experience pain or side effects afterward? What should you and your child do to prepare for receiving the vaccine?
In our new COVID-19 vaccine video, we’ve got answers, specifically for kids. For this installment, we’ve teamed up with doctors and medical providers from several different communities. We asked these medical experts, all of whom work with children, to speak about the vaccine and address kids in five different languages.
