FAQ

Do you have questions about pediatric vaccinations? You're not alone! Below, we address common concerns parents have about vaccine safety, schedules, side effects, and more. If you have additional questions, your COPA provider can discuss why they’re an essential part of keeping your child healthy and help come up with a care plan that’s best for your family. 

Vaccines are very safe and rigorously tested. They go through extensive research and clinical trials before being recommended for children. While some mild side effects, like soreness at the injection site, are possible, these are temporary and far outweighed by the protection vaccines offer against serious diseases.

Even healthy children can contract serious illnesses. Vaccines help build their immunity, preventing them from getting sick and spreading diseases to others, especially vulnerable populations like younger siblings or grandparents.

Most vaccine side effects are mild and short-lived, like redness or swelling at the injection site. Serious side effects are extremely rare. 

It's important to discuss any allergies or medical conditions your child has with your pediatrician before vaccination. In some cases, they might recommend delaying or modifying the immunization schedule to ensure your child's safety.
