Pediatric COVID Vaccination Virtual Forum
Vaccines are our best hope to end the COVID pandemic. COVID vaccine is available for children ages 5 and up, and boosters are now authorized for those 12 years and older. Vaccines for children ages 6 months and up may be authorized next. Marin County is among the most highly vaccinated areas in the nation. But many questions and concerns remain when it comes to vaccinating our children.
Save the date for a virtual presentation from Marin Healthcare District where local medical specialists will discuss:
Why children and teens should get vaccinated
Upcoming COVID vaccinations for 2–4-year-olds and how to support them during their vaccination
How parents and caregivers can determine if toddlers are having side effects
Booster recommendation for children under 18
Vaccine requirements in schools
Variants and levels of contagion

Immunocompromised children
There will also be time for Q&A at the end of the presentation.
