Social Media Toolkit: Children and Vaccines
Why should my child get vaccinated against COVID-19?
Social media text:
Kids are just as likely to get COVID-19 as adults, and there’s no way to know in advance how sick your child will get. You can vaccinate children ages 6 months and older and greatly lower the risk that they will become seriously ill. bit.ly/387YhG5 #NIHCEAL
How do I know the vaccine is safe for children?
Social media text:
Parents want to know if #COVID19 vaccines are safe. Millions of kids and teens have received the vaccine. The benefit of increased protection against serious illness or death from COVID-19 far outweighs the risk of vaccine side effects. bit.ly/387YhG5 #NIHCEAL
How do I know the vaccine is effective in children?
Social media text:
Children who are vaccinated against #COVID-19 are less likely to get seriously ill. Talk to your pediatrician about COVID-19 vaccines for kids. bit.ly/387YhG5 #NIHCEAL
Will my child experience side effects from the COVID-19 vaccine?
Social media text:
It’s no fun to get a shot, but it’s less fun to get #COVID19. It’s normal for kids and adults to have mild side effects from a COVID-19 vaccine, though some people have no side effects at all. bit.ly/387YhG5 #NIHCEAL
What about reports of heart problems in older kids who received the COVID-19 vaccine?
Social media text:
The risk of serious health events in children and teens after COVID-19 vaccination is rare. Protect your kids with the vaccine. #NIHCEAL bit.ly/387YhG5
Should my child get vaccinated if they’ve already had COVID-19?
