Get emergency medical help if your child has signs of an allergic reaction: hives, rash, dizziness, weakness, fast heartbeats, difficult breathing, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.

The vaccination provider may want to watch your child for a short time after the shot, to make sure your child does not have an allergic reaction. Your child will be treated quickly if there is a reaction right after receiving the vaccine.

Your child should not receive this vaccine if the first shot of COVID-19 vaccine caused an allergic reaction. The doctor or vaccination provider will determine if your child can safely receive this vaccine.

Not all possible side effects are known. Becoming infected with COVID-19 is much more dangerous to your health than receiving this vaccine.

Some people receiving this vaccine had inflammation of the heart muscle or the lining around the heart within two weeks after receiving this vaccine, but the risk of this side effect is very low. Seek medical attention right away if your child has:

• chest pain;

• breathing problems; or

• fast or pounding heartbeats or fluttering in your chest.

Common side effects may include:

• fever, chills, headache, cool or pale skin;

• loss of appetite, stomach pain;

• swelling, redness, or a hard lump where the shot was given;

• tender or swollen lymph nodes near your armpit or groin;

• nausea, vomiting, fainting;

• feeling tired or irritated, crying; or

• muscle or joint pain.

This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects.

You may also use a smartphone-based program called V-safe to communicate with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) about any health problems your child has after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine: www.cdc.gov/vsafe.
