  • Corporate Authors:
    Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (U.S.)
  • 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
