COVID-19 and Flu Vaccines

COVID-19 vaccines are recommended for all children ages 6 months and older.

  • Getting your child vaccinated is the best thing to do for their health while COVID-19 is still spreading.
  • Before the vaccine became available for children, scientists and medical experts reviewed it for safety and how well it worked!
  • Research into how Messenger RNA, or mRNA, works was developed in the 1970s! So, when COVID-19 came along, mRNA vaccine technology was ready.
  • While children generally do better with COVID-19, they can get very sick, have lasting health issues or die from this virus.
Protect your child from COVID-19, get them all recommended doses. 

 

Flu vaccines are recommended for all children ages 6 months and older, every year. 

  • The best time to get a flu vaccine is September or October, but it's never too late to get one!
  • A flu vaccine helps to strengthen your child's immune system.
  • Flu vaccination can make your child's illness milder (easier) if they do get sick from flu.
  • A flu vaccine and COVID-19 vaccine can be given at the same time!
