    ABOUT THE COVID-19 VACCINE


    FOR CHILDREN AND TEENS

    Who can get a COVID-19 vaccine?


    All Chicagoans aged 5 and up can get vaccinated. Vaccines are free and no proof of insurance or citizenship is
    required. Children ages 5-11 receive a smaller dose of the vaccine than those ages 12 and up.

    Why should my child or teen get vaccinated for COVID-19?


    COVID-19 can make children very sick and cause children to be hospitalized. It can cause both short and long-
    term health complications, and in some cases, even death. Children infected with COVID-19 can spread it to
    others, including more vulnerable people like older people and those with underlying health conditions.

    Are there any side effects to the COVID-19 vaccine?


    Your child may have some side effects, which are normal signs that their body is building protection against
    COVID-19. On the arm where your child got the shot, your child may experience temporary pain, redness and
    swelling. Throughout the rest of their body, they may experience temporary tiredness, headache, muscle
    pain, chills, fever, or nausea. These side effects may affect your child’s ability to do daily activities, but they
    should go away in a few days. There is no evidence that the COVID-19 vaccine affects fertility. Severe allergic
    reactions are rare. If your child experiences a severe allergic reaction after getting a COVID-19 vaccine, vaccine
    providers can rapidly provide care and call for emergency medical services, if needed.

    Can I get COVID-19 from the COVID-19 vaccine?


    No, people cannot get COVID-19 from the vaccine.

    If my child is vaccinated, will they have to quarantine if they come into close contact with someone infected
    with a current COVID-19 variant?
    No. One of the benefits of getting your child vaccinated is that they will not have to quarantine as long as they
    feel well. Avoiding quarantine or isolation will mean less disruption to the child’s learning, and less stress on
    parents who may have to secure child care for a child in quarantine.

    Is the COVID-19 vaccine safe?


    COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. Millions of people in the United States have received COVID-19
    vaccines. While COVID-19 vaccines were developed quickly to meet the worldwide demand for protection
    from the virus, all steps have been taken to ensure their safety and effectiveness. COVID-19 vaccines have
    undergone and continue to undergo the most intensive safety monitoring in U.S. history, which includes studies
    about adolescents and children.

    Where can I find a COVID-19 vaccine?


    COVID-19 vaccines are widely available. You can talk to your child’s pediatrician or medical provider, or make
    an appointment by visiting vaccines.gov, texting your zip code to 438829; or calling 1-800-232-0233. For a list
    of vaccine opportunities through CPS, please visit cps.edu/vaccinations.

    PREGUNTAS FRECUENTES SOBRE
    LA VACUNA COVID-19 PARA NIÑOS
    Y ADOLESCENTES

    ¿Quién puede vacunarse contra el COVID-19?


    Todos los habitantes de Chicago mayores de 5 años pueden vacunarse. Las vacunas son gratuitas y no se requiere prueba
    de seguro médico o de ciudadanía. Adicionalmente, los niños de 5 a 11 años reciben una menor dosis de la vacuna que los
    mayores de 12 años.

    ¿Por qué debe mi niño o adolescente vacunarse contra el COVID-19?


    La enfermedad de COVID-19 puede afectar mucho a los niños y hacer que tengan que ser hospitalizados. Puede causar
    complicaciones de salud a corto y largo plazo y, en algunos casos, incluso la muerte. Los niños contagiados por el COVID-19
    pueden transmitirla a otras personas, incluso a las más vulnerables, como las personas mayores y las que tienen problemas de
    salud subyacentes.

    ¿Tiene la vacuna contra el COVID-19 efectos secundarios?


    Es posible que su hijo tenga algunos efectos secundarios, que son los síntomas normales que su cuerpo está desarrollando
    la protección contra el COVID-19. En el brazo donde su hijo recibió la vacuna, puede sentir dolor temporal, enrojecimiento e
    hinchazón. Su hijo puede sentir cansancio temporal, dolor de cabeza, dolor muscular, escalofríos, fiebre o náuseas. Estos
    efectos secundarios pueden afectar a su capacidad para realizar actividades cotidianas, pero deben desaparecer en pocos días.
    No hay pruebas de que la vacuna contra el COVID-19 afecte a la fertilidad. Las reacciones alérgicas graves son poco frecuentes.
    Si su hijo experimenta una reacción alérgica grave después de recibir la vacuna contra el COVID-19, los proveedores de vacunas
    pueden atender a su hijo rápidamente y llamar a los servicios médicos de emergencia, si es necesario.

    ¿Puedo contraer COVID-19 a través de la vacuna contra el COVID-19?


    No, las personas no pueden contraer COVID-19 a través de la vacuna.

    Si mi hijo está vacunado, ¿tendrá que ponerse en cuarentena si entra en contacto cercano con alguien infectado con una
    variante de COVID-19?
    No. Una de las ventajas de vacunar a su hijo es que no tendrá que ponerse en cuarentena mientras se sienta bien. El hecho de
    no tener que ponerse en cuarentena o aislamiento significa que habrá menos interrupciones en el aprendizaje del niño y menos
    estrés para los padres, que pueden tener que buscar cuidado de niños.

    ¿Es segura la vacuna contra el COVID-19?


    La vacuna contra el COVID-19 es segura y efectiva. Millones de personas en los Estados Unidos han recibido la vacuna contra
    el COVID-19. Aunque las vacunas contra el COVID-19 se desarrollaron rápidamente para satisfacer la demanda mundial de
    protección contra el virus, se han tomado todas las medidas para garantizar su seguridad y eficacia. La vacuna de COVID-19
    sigue siendo sometida al control de seguridad más intensivo de la historia de los Estados Unidos, que incluye estudios sobre
    adolescentes y niños.

    ¿Dónde puedo encontrar la vacuna contra el COVID-19?


    La vacuna contra el COVID-19 está ampliamente disponible. Puede hablar con el pediatra o proveedor médico de su hijo, o hacer
    una cita visitando vaccines.gov, enviando un mensaje de texto con su código postal al 438829, llamando al 1-800-232-0233 o a
