Parents:
COVID-19 vaccines are available and recommended for kids 12 and older. Children who have COVID-19, whether they become ill with symptoms or not, can easily spread the virus to other people in their home, at school, and in their community. COVID-19 vaccines help protect children ages 12 and older, and getting them vaccinated helps bring our entire state, and country, one step closer to returning to the way things were before the pandemic.
