Vaccination for 5 to 11-year-olds is an important tool in ending the pandemic and protecting everyone in the family from severe illness or death. When more of us are vaccinated, the places we love - like libraries - can stay open.
Although wearing masks in indoor public spaces is no longer mandated, it is strongly recommended. Some children and their families who have loved ones who are at a greater risk of becoming very ill from COVID-19, may continue to wear a mask when they feel it can protect themselves or others from getting sick. Leading with kindness will help us all prevent another surge and keep our loved ones healthy.
It’s okay to have questions about COVID-19 vaccines for kids. Feel good about the facts. Talk to your child’s doctor or visit MyTurn.ca.gov to find a vaccine near you.
