What to Know About Vaccines and Boosters for Kids

The CDC says getting children vaccinated can help reduce disruptions to in-person learning at school and other activities, as it will help curb the spread of the virus throughout the community. All children, including kids who have already had COVID-19, should get vaccinated.

Here’s what parents and caregivers should know:

The vaccine for children 6 months and older has been intensively tested and monitored for safety and will continue to be as children across the country receive the vaccine.
Clinical trials found that the vaccine side effects were mild and similar to those seen in other routine vaccinations.
The CDC notes that vaccination helps protect children from getting COVID-19 and reduces their risk of severe disease, hospitalizations, or developing long-term COVID-19 complications.
The COVID-19 vaccine has been and continues to be, the most intensely monitored vaccine in U.S. history.

Have questions about COVID-19 vaccines and boosters?

See the CDC’s answers to the following FAQs

Why should I get vaccinated if I might get COVID-19 anyway?

COVID-19 vaccination significantly lowers your risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and death if you get infected. Compared to people who are up to date with their COVID-19 vaccinations, unvaccinated people are more likely to get COVID-19, much more likely to be hospitalized with COVID-19, and much more likely to die from COVID-19.

If I already had COVID-19 and recovered, do I still need to get a COVID-19 vaccine?

You should get a COVID-19 vaccine even if you already had COVID-19. Getting a COVID-19 vaccine after you recover from COVID-19 infection provides added protection against COVID-19. You may consider delaying your vaccine by 3 months from when your symptoms started or, if you had no symptoms, when you received a positive test. People who already had COVID-19 and do not get vaccinated after their recovery are more likely to get COVID-19 again than those who get vaccinated after their recovery.

How long does protection from a COVID-19 vaccine last?

We know COVID-19 vaccines continue to work well. Recent data show that 1 dose of the updated booster better protects you against more serious illness, hospitalization, and death. Scientists are monitoring how long COVID-19 vaccine protection lasts. CDC continues to review evidence and update guidance as new information becomes available. At this time, 1 updated booster dose is recommended for everyone in order to maintain protection from severe illness.

How many doses of COVID-19 vaccine will I need to get to complete my primary series?

The number of vaccine doses you need to complete your primary series depends on which vaccine you receive.

2 doses of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine 3–8* weeks apart for people 5 years and older, or
3 doses of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for ages 6 months through 4 years, first and second dose 3-8 weeks apart, second and third dose at least 8 weeks apart*.
2 doses of Moderna vaccine 4–8* weeks apart for people ages 6 months and older.
2 doses of Novavax vaccine 3-8* weeks apart for people ages 12 years and older.
1 dose of Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen (J&J/Janssen) vaccine for people ages 18 and older.

Talk to your CHI provider about the timing for the second dose in your primary series. You should not get the second dose early.

Am I still considered “fully vaccinated” if I don’t get a booster?

Yes, you are fully vaccinated even if you haven’t gotten your booster yet. The definition of fully vaccinated does not include a COVID-19 booster. Fully vaccinated, however, is not the same as having the best protection. People are best protected when they stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccinations, which includes getting a booster when eligible.

Can I get more than one updated COVID-19 booster?

No. CDC recommends 1 updated booster dose at this time. FDA has not authorized receiving more than 1 updated booster. Recent data confirm that updated COVID-19 boosters help to protect people from serious COVID-19 illness. CDC will continue to provide updated information and guidance as the science becomes available.
CDC recommends everyone stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines for their age group:

Children and teens ages 6 months–17 years
Adults ages 18 years and older

See our table above to review eligibility.

Are the COVID-19 vaccines for children the same ones that are given to adults?

The COVID-19 vaccines for children have the same active ingredients as the vaccines given to adults. However, children receive a smaller and more age-appropriate dose that is right for them. The smaller doses were rigorously tested and found to create the needed immune response for each age group. Making it important for your child to get the vaccine made for their age group.

Can children and teens get COVID-19 from a COVID-19 vaccine?

No. COVID-19 vaccines that are currently available do not use the live virus that causes COVID-19. These vaccines work by using a harmless piece of spike protein from the virus causing COVID-19 to teach the body how to fight the virus that causes it. The body then gets rid of the harmless spike protein within a few days after vaccination.

Should parents and caregivers wait for updated or additional vaccines, if a child is at low risk for infection?

Parents and caregivers should get their child vaccinated as soon as vaccines are available to them. Getting vaccinated provides the best protection against serious illness if a child gets infected with the virus that causes COVID-19. Since there is no way to tell in advance how children, who are not moderately or severely immunocompromised, or those who may be immunocompromised.
