Resources & Information About Vaccinating Children & Youth

Vaccine Video for Children 5-11 Year Olds

Windsor Regional Hospital, the City of Windsor, and the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit created a video “Getting Your Child Vaccinated - Kids 5-11” which takes viewers on a three-minute journey through the COVID-19 Vaccination Centre at Devonshire Mall. The video provides tips for parents and kids on how to prepare at home (such as what to wear), to the arrival at the vaccination centre, through the registration process, the vaccination itself, and the post-vaccination process. The easy-to-follow video guide is aimed at reducing anxiety and any fear of the unknown about getting this important vaccination.  Watch the video here.
