Now from the new year, children will start getting the vaccine. Most of the children are scared of getting the vaccine and they get nervous just seeing the injection needle. Children cry due to the pain caused by needles and some children cry a lot while getting the vaccine.
Since, now the vaccine has been approved for children from 15 to 18 years, so now parents should not delay at all in this work and should prepare the children to get vaccinated as soon as possible.
Preparing children for the vaccine can be a bit difficult for the parents, but this work is very important for the safety of the children, so ignoring this thing in this critical time will not be free from danger.
