Will younger kids experience the same symptoms as adolescents and adults?

After COVID-19 vaccination, some children - like adults - may have some mild side effects like soreness, headache, fever, chills. These are normal signs that your body is building immunity and, while they may affect your child's ability to do daily activities, they should go away in a few days.

Some people have no side effects at all. The risks from COVID-19 far outweigh the possible mild side effects from the vaccine.
