Information for parents

For children getting the Pfizer Covid-19 Vaccination (5-11 year olds)

If you have booked your child for the Paediatric Pfizer vaccine, we encourage you to take some time to read the following information to facilitate the vaccination process.

Please make sure your child is dressed for easy access to the upper arm, eg T- shirt, singlet.

The ‘cuddle position’ is recommended for children who may need to be held by a parent or carer:

A photo of a child in the cuddle position. A child of about 2–3 years old is sitting sideways on their carer’s lap, on the left side. Both their legs are in between the carer’s thighs. The carer’s outside (left) arm is wrapped around the back of the child and holding the child’s left arm snuggly against the child’s side. The carer is holding the child’s left hand snuggly against the child’s stomach with their right hand. The child’s inside (right) arm is tucked under the carer’s left armpit. This reveals the injection side in the child’s left deltoid muscle.

A mirror image of the above applies to the other arm.

Start a conversation and listen to your child’s response

Start a conversation with your child and invite them to share what they have heard about COVID-19 vaccines. It’s important to listen to their responses and acknowledge any fears they have about being vaccinated.

For example:

Tell me what you know so far about the COVID-19 vaccine.
Have you ever had a vaccine before?
What did that feel like?The chances are your child has had a vaccine before and it may not have been so bad.Be open about the vaccine and the vaccination processExplain honestly and in an age-appropriate way what you know about the COVID-19 vaccine.

Remember children take emotional cues from adults, so oversharing fears may not be constructive and may make your child feel uncomfortable.

It may help to explain to your child what they can expect on the day of the appointment.

Explain that the doctor or nurse will ask your child some questions, that your child will receive a needle in their arm, that they’ll feel a small prick and their arm might be a little bit sore afterwards. Reassure your child by telling them it’s normal for their arm to be a little bit sore, and it means the medicine is working.

If your child seems anxious about getting vaccinated, try exploring their feelings further or seek further advice from your GP if necessary.

Answer your child’s questions

Have some kid-friendly responses ready to go for any questions your child might have. Here are some of the key questions and answers that might help in this conversation:

What is a vaccine?

A vaccine is a medicine that helps people fight a virus if they come in contact with it.

It can stop people from getting very sick.

Why do I need to be vaccinated?

The COVID-19 vaccine is a safe way to protect you, your family, and your friends from getting sick.

Use real examples, such as protecting the child’s grandparents, and being able to get back to school and back to team sports if you think this will help.

How do vaccines work?

Vaccines work by teaching your body how to fight illness.

Is the vaccine safe?

Vaccines are very safe. In Australia, they have been tested thoroughly by an agency that makes sure all medicines are safe. They would not be given to people if they were not safe.

Fear of needles

If your child is afraid of needles, effective preparation and distraction techniques are important.

It may help your child to attend a smaller, more familiar location, such as a local pharmacy or general practice. Large scale vaccination sites may be loud and busy and increase distress.

Bring along your child’s favourite toys or books to create a positive experience and distraction.

Let your provider know in advance if your child is afraid of needles so they can set aside enough time and make sure the process is not rushed or forced.

You can visit the Department of Health website at www.health.gov.au for more information about the vaccine.
