  • Description:
    Everyone ages 6 months and older can now get vaccinated against COVID-19, and everyone ages 5 years and older can get a booster if eligible. Since the COVID-19 pandemic started, thousands of children and youth in the United States have been hospitalized with COVID-19, and hundreds have died. Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is a key step in protecting children and youth from getting very sick from COVID-19. Staying at home when sick, testing, wearing a mask when appropriate, handwashing, and covering coughs and sneezes are also important steps we should continue to take to protect our children and youth from COVID-19 and slow the spread of the virus in our households and communities. ; Getting accurate, timely, and trusted information is critical to help everyone in our community address questions and concerns about how to protect children and youth from COVID-19. Healthcare providers, schools, and other trusted community organizations and agencies are all sources for sharing credible information that addresses parent and caregiver concerns about COVID-19 in children and youth, including information about the COVID-19 vaccines. ; This fact sheet was developed by an interagency workgroup working under Section 3 of Executive Order 13995: Ensuring an Equitable Pandemic Response and Recovery ; CS 332317 | July 07, 2022 ; ProtectKidsFromCovid_Factsheet_FINAL.pdf
