      Fall into Healthy Habits

      It’s the moment so many parents have been waiting for: COVID-19 vaccines are now recommended for children ages 6 months and older. This means that nearly 20 million more children can now be protected against COVID-19. Vaccination provides a critical opportunity to prevent serious illness, giving families with young children more options to participate in childcare, school, and other activities while protecting themselves and others through vaccination.

      Both the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines have been approved for use in children ages 6 months through 5 years. The Moderna vaccine will be a two-dose primary series, and the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine will be a three-dose primary series. After vaccination, children could have some mild and temporary side effects like those seen with other routine childhood vaccines.

      CDC recommends that everyone ages 6 months and older get vaccinated, including children who have already had COVID-19. Both vaccines are safe and proven to protect children against serious illness from COVID-19. These vaccines have undergone—and will continue to undergo—the most intensive safety monitoring in U.S. history. Thousands of children participated in robust clinical trials to evaluate the safety of the vaccines and how well they work.

      Vaccination provides the best defense against serious outcomes related to COVID-19. To find COVID-19 vaccines for children, visit vaccines.gov.
