The CDC suggests these steps to help prepare for your child’s vaccination visit:

· Get tips for how to support your child before, during, and after the visit.

· Your child will need a second shot of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine 3 weeks after their first shot.

· Talk to your child before the visit about what to expect.

· Tell the doctor or nurse if your child has any allergies to any ingredient in the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine.

· Comfort your child during the appointment.

· To prevent fainting and injuries related to fainting, your child should be seated or lying down during vaccination and for 15 minutes after the vaccine is given.

· After your child’s COVID-19 vaccination, you will be asked to stay for 15–30 minutes so your child can be observed in case they have a severe allergic reaction and need immediate treatment.

MCH fully endorses the CDC’s guideline and urges parents to vaccinate their children.
