Making the choice to vaccinate your child against COVID-19 is a big one. You should have the facts before making that choice. Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about the vaccine in children and teens.

Your child may have some side effects, which are normal signs that their body is building protection against COVID-19. On the arm where your child got the shot, your child may experience temporary pain, redness and swelling. Throughout the rest of their body, they may experience temporary tiredness, headache, muscle pain, chills, fever, or nausea. These side effects may affect your child’s ability to do daily activities, but they should go away in a few days. There is no evidence that the COVID-19 vaccine affects fertility. Severe allergic reactions are rare. If your child experiences a severe allergic reaction after getting a COVID-19 vaccine, vaccine providers can rapidly provide care and call for emergency medical services, if needed.

COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. Millions of people in the United States have received COVID-19 vaccines. While COVID-19 vaccines were developed quickly to meet the worldwide demand for protection from the virus, all steps have been taken to ensure their safety and effectiveness. COVID-19 vaccines have undergone and continue to undergo the most intensive safety monitoring in U.S. history, which includes studies about adolescents and children. For more information, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s resources on COVID-19 vaccination for children and teens.

The protection COVID-19 vaccines provide decreases over time, especially for certain groups of people. The emergence of new COVID-19 variants make it even more important to get vaccinated and boosted.

CDC recommends everyone ages 5 years and older stay up to date with their vaccines, which includes getting boosters when eligible, for the best protection against COVID-19.

CDPH and CPS strongly encourage all Chicagoans aged 5 and older to get a COVID-19 booster dose five months after their initial vaccine series. In addition, adults 50 and older, as well as individuals 12 years and older who are moderately or severely immunocompromised, should receive a second booster dose of either the Pfizer-BioNTech or the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, four months after the first booster.

For complete information regarding boosters, please visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.
