Vaccination is one of the most effective measures to ensure your child’s well-being.
Parents prioritize the safety of their children, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic’s “new normal.” To protect their health, it is essential to keep their medical records up-to-date, and one of the most effective methods is through vaccination. Find out more about additional safety measures for your child’s next vaccination appointment.
Prior to visiting the clinic
It is important to have an appointment and comply with the health and safety protocols at the clinic, such as completing health forms and using physical barriers, to protect yourself and your child. Following the clinic’s guidelines and scheduling your visits accordingly is crucial. Your children may feel scared upon seeing medical staff in protective gear, but with your help, they can overcome their fears.
To help your child manage any apprehension and prepare for the appointment, consider having a conversation with them about the significance of keeping their vaccination records updated before the scheduled date.
Remember to keep yourself safe from the virus and other illnesses by using the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as masks and face shields, whenever you leave your home. It is important to consult your family doctor to determine the appropriate PPE for young children so they are comfortable. Additionally, make sure to wash your hands regularly and bring hand sanitizer with you to disinfect surfaces and personal items when you visit the clinic.
