Is it safe to vaccinate our children against COVID-19? 您孩子打COVID-19疫苗危险吗？

• In the United States, over 12 million children have become ill with COVID-19. Over 122,000 children have been hospitalized with COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic and over 1,400 have died.
• Roughly 6 million children and teens in California have been infected with COVID-19. There have been more than 6,500 pediatric hospitalizations in our state since July of last year, and we have lost 38 young lives since the start of the pandemic.

• Today’s conversation is intended to answer some very important questions and address any concerns you may have about the vaccine.
• Healthy children with no pre-existing conditions can have severe COVID-19, too. In fact, almost half of children younger than 18 years hospitalized with COVID-19 have no underlying conditions.
• During the Omicron period, 63% of children under 5 years and 30% of children 5-11 years hospitalized with COVID-19 did not have any underlying conditions.

Today with the help of the California Department of Public Health we organize the online “Community Dialog” for our parents and neighbors, raising awareness of COVID-19 vaccinations。 Hope our younger generations will be protected from the virus. Today’s event will be mainly in Chinese

Today’s conversation is intended to answer some very important questions and address any concerns you may have about the vaccine.

1） Some people say that COVID-19 is like the flu, so why get our kids vaccinated if it’s just like the flu?

2） We know that there are two questions that parents ask frequently is if the vaccine can cause heart damage in boys and whether it could harm the fertility of my children?

3） Is the vaccine harmful to kids?

4） Will the symptoms of the vaccine will hurt my child?

5） One myth out there is that “My kid already got COVID-19, so they don’t need the vaccine,” Is that true? Is it better to vaccinate our kids?
