What You Need to Know
• COVID-19 vaccination for children and teens is safe and effective.
• Everyone 6 months and older, including those with disabilities and underlying medical conditions, should get vaccinated against COVID-19.
• Everyone 5 years and older should get a booster, if eligible.
• Use CDC’s COVID-19 booster tool to learn if and when your child or teen can get boosters to stay up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines.
Children and youth with special healthcare needs require more care for their physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional differences than their typically developing peers. A special healthcare need can include physical, intellectual, and developmental disabilities, as well as long-standing medical conditions, such as asthma, diabetes, a blood disorder, or muscular dystrophy.
