Vaccination and the COVID Pandemic

The resources below were shared by our Collaborative Partner, PTAN
Increasing Child Comfort with Masks
As face masks become part of the arsenal against the spread of COVID-19, the Boggs Center on Developmental Disabilities at Rutgers offers parents resources to help children feel more comfortable. Part of a series, these documents explain the need for face masks and how to lessen children's mask anxiety when seeing others in masks and when wearing masks themselves. These are now posted on our thier webpage Supporting Children and Families During the Pandemic.
Children need factual, age appropriate information about the potential seriousness of disease risk and concrete instruction about how to avoid infections and spread of disease. Teaching children positive preventive measures, talking with them about their fears, and giving them a sense of some control over their risk of infection can help reduce anxiety.
With the increasing prevalence of Coronavirus, caregivers might be feeling challenged by the change in routines, the need for social distancing, or fear and anxiety. Children might also be feeling this way, too. The following tips offer some guidance for caregivers supporting children at this time.
