Covid-19 vaccination for kids ages 5-11 may become available soon, but taking your child for a vaccination appointment may give rise to a wave of anxiety for many parents.

Many of us fear needles, and for children, their attempt to escape getting a shot often results in a series of challenging behaviors including tantrum, screaming, aggression, and elopement.

The good news is, you CAN help your child overcome the fear or alleviate their stress.

This blog post introduces some strategies you can use to make the vaccination experience less traumatic and much more manageable.
