Tips for Making Your Immunization Clinic Visit Less Stressful

Before the Visit

  • Read material about the vaccines you or your child may receive and write down any questions you may have.
  • Locate your family's immunization records and bring this with you for all individuals receiving vaccinations during this visit.
  • Pack along a toy, book, blanket or other comfort item for your child.
  • Be honest with the child about the reason for the clinic visit and encourage family members (especially siblings) to offer support.

At the Clinic

  • Arrive on time.
  • Take opportunities to distract and comfort your child by holding them, singing and pointing out interesting things to see in the clinic room.
  • Allow the child to hold their favorite toy or blanket or to read a book during the visit.
  • Ask the medical professional all questions you may have about the vaccination and receive appropriate answers to your questions.

At Home

  • Continue to encourage and support your child. Never scold them for "not being brave" or crying.
  • Review the Vaccine Information Sheet to be aware of possible side effects, and monitor the place where the shot was given.
  • Provide lots of liquid refreshment, as some vaccines may cause the individual to eat or drink less than normal.
  • If you notice any abnormal reactions or if something concerns you, please call your medical provider.
