COVID vaccine side effects in children are similar to side effects in adults. Children have robust immune systems, so side effects like fatigue, muscle ache, fever, and dizziness are normal and will diminish in two to three days. http://ow.ly/QYbd50FfQgV #D4PH #PublicHealth #Covid

People with weakened immune systems, autoimmune conditions, or previously diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome or Bell’s palsy may receive an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, unless they have had a severe allergic reaction to any ingredients in the vaccine. If you or a loved one has one of the above conditions, talk to your doctor and see CDC’s resources to help you make an informed decision about getting a COVID-19 vaccine, since safety data among these groups are currently limited: http://ow.ly/SFxg50DcMKl.
