A free webinar providing accurate, timely and trusted information about how to protect all children from COVID-19

Join the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Office of Minority Health and Health Equity for “Protecting Our Children and Youth from COVID-19: Information for Parents, Caregivers, and Community Partners” on July 29 from 12:30 to 2 p.m.

Everyone ages 6 months and older can now get vaccinated against COVID-19. Everyone ages 5 years and older can get a booster if eligible. Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is a key step in protecting children and youth from getting very sick or dying from COVID-19.

This webinar will provide participants with accurate, up-to-date information about how to protect all children from COVID-19.

Speakers will include pediatric vaccine experts and community partners leading vaccine efforts for children and youth. Information will include:

  • CDC’s COVID-19 vaccination recommendations for everyone ages 6 months and older, including where to find resources and credible information on vaccine safety.
  • The risks, benefits and myths associated with COVID-19 vaccinations for children and youth.
  • What to ask your health provider about the COVID-19 vaccination if your child has a disability.
  • How community partners are working to protect Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian American, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander and children and youth with disabilities who live in communities disproportionately impacted by COVID-19.

See the event flyer for more details. (The flyer is also available in Spanish.)
