As after school activities resume, students are spending more time out of the house and with their friends in sports, plays, and study groups. It’s a busy and fun time for families, which means it is extra important to take those extra measures to keep kids healthy and enjoying the things they love to do.

COVID has been responsible for four times more deaths than flu deaths in children, which is why it is important to vaccinate young children ages five and up against COVID-19. Kids have had to weather remote learning, adapt to wearing masks, and miss out on birthday parties and playdate. Let’s get children back to the activities that enrich their lives by getting them their COVID-19 vaccines! When families know their kids are protected against this deadly virus, they are provided the peace of mind to fully enjoy in-person activities and more time with loved ones.

Let’s work together to keep our children safe and prevent the spread of COVID-19. Vaccines are free for everyone and they are the safest way to protect against the most serious outcomes from COVID-19, including long COVID which can affect children for months.
