As a parent or carer, you might have questions about COVID-19 vaccines for your children.
Like adults, children can become severely sick when infected by COVID-19.
Vaccines are the best way to help your child’s immune system to fight the virus.
COVID-19 vaccines have been carefully tested for their safety and effectiveness. That’s why many parents have already had their children vaccinated.
Booking a vaccination appointment for your child is easy. Call your doctor or visit a local pharmacy.
If you don't have a Medicare card, your child can still get a free COVID-19 vaccination.
After the vaccination, children can experience mild side effects such as a sore arm, headache, and fatigue. These can usually be managed at home and normally go away after 1 or 2 days.
