HELPFUL TIPS

•  Parents/guardians must give their permission for children to get vaccinated.
• Appointments for vaccinations can be made at any School Based Health Center until August 23rd, 2024.
• The CDC does not recommend that your child take over-the-counter medicine – such as ibuprofen, aspirin, or acetaminophen – before vaccination, unless regularly prescribed for a medical condition, since, it is not known how these medications might affect the immune response. However, if your child develops fever or pain after the vaccine, it is acceptable to provide acetaminophen or ibuprofen at the appropriate dose unless they have a known contraindication. It is also not recommended to take antihistamines, commonly used to treat allergic reactions, before getting a COVID-19 vaccine to try to prevent allergic reactions. If you have questions about medications that your child is taking, talk to your child’s doctor.
