What is COVID-19

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is primarily a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person. In children, it can present as pretty much anything (from a headache to even color changes of the toes). The virus that causes COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus, meaning that it is a new virus. There are other types of coronaviruses that we have known about before this outbreak. 

​

The way I like to explain it: COVID-19 is a new baby to the family and it is one very fussy baby!

What side effects should I expect after COVID-19 vaccination?

Everyone reacts differently to vaccination and we cannot predict who will experience side effects or what those will be. 

​

Some of the most common side effects reported included pain, redness, and swelling in the arm where the vaccine is given, as well as tiredness, headache, muscle pain, chills, fever, and nausea. These side typically resolve within 24-48 hours. If they are lasting longer or you have concerns, reach out to your medical provider.
