COVID-19 Vaccines for Children and Teens
COVID-19 can make children and teens of any age very sick and sometimes requires treatment in a hospital.

There is no way to tell in advance how children or teens will be affected by COVID-19. However, those with underlying medical conditions or who have a weakened immune system are more likely to get severely ill from COVID-19.
Those without underlying medical conditions can also experience severe illness. Almost half of children younger than 18 years old hospitalized with COVID-19 have no underlying conditions. |
