Thank You for Getting Your Shots

Getting shots isn't fun. It can hurt, and needles are scary. But helping kids understand what shots are and why they are important can help. Thank You for Getting Your Shots teaches kids what shots are, how they work, and why they are important. Rather than trying to minimize the sting of shots, Thank You for Getting Your Shots emphasizes the importance of kids getting shots to protect themselves and others like babies and those with serious illnesses.

The author uses easy-to-understand language to explain concepts like germs, antibodies, and herd immunity, and then thanks the child for getting their shots to protect baby siblings, pregnant mommies, and elderly grandmas who are unable to get shots.
