Flu shots are now available at Tier Pediatrics! Here’s what you can expect at your child’s first flu shot visit:
Before the appointment:
Keep things calm and honest... let them know they’ll feel a quick little poke that helps keep them healthy. A small reward planned afterward never hurts either!
During the appointment:
Distraction is the real MVP. Bring their favorite comfort item, sing a song, play “I Spy,” or let them watch a quick video. For little ones, a cozy lap hug helps them stay still and feel safe.
After the appointment:
Expect lots of praise for being brave! A little soreness or fussiness is normal, and a cool compress can help. And if you ever have questions, we’re just a call away. 💙
