COVID-19 is in the community.

COVID-19 vaccination is safe and available for children aged 5 to 11.

It’s the best way to protect children from COVID-19.

Did you know?

• Vaccination offers all children strong protection against severe illness, hospitalisation and chronic symptoms.
• Most children who test positive to COVID-19 will experience mild symptoms, however there’s strong evidence to support vaccinating children.
• Children with pre-existing medical conditions are at greater risk from COVID-19.
• Vaccines give the immune system a helping hand to protect against serious illness and possible long-term effects from COVID-19.
• Reducing transmission in schools means education settings will be safer, can stay open, and children can spend time face-to-face learning, play time, sporting activities, and spending time with friends.
• Vaccination reduces the risk of children transmitting COVID-19 to other kids and family members.
