About

This short video is for children and parents to watch in preparation for children's vaccinations. It describes how doctors and nurses use injections to keep us healthy by protecting against germs. Parents can comfort their child using different holds like chest-to-chest or swaddle for infants. Before the shot, the nurse cleans the arm with an alcohol wipe that feels cold and smells funny. Afterward, they cover it with a band-aid, and kids can choose a sticker or sucker as a reward for being brave.
