Getting immunizations and shots can be scary for any kid. Since Ava is now at the age where she knows what's going on and going to happen one of the things we like to do at home before we go to get immunizations is talk to her first. We remind her several times days before about what's going to happen.
Another thing we like to do is have her practice "giving shots" to her little brother and stuffed animals. We make a fun game out of it, and let her play the Doctor role.
A quick stop at Walgreens for a thermometer, band-aids and a medicine dropper to act as our shot and we had all the props for this fun game!
Walgreens is an easy stop for back to school goodies, but with their on site clinics it's also an easy choice for back to school immunizations too! No appointments needed, and most insurance plans are accepted.
Walgreens has partnered with United Nation Foundations Shot@Life Campaign to provide immunizations to school age children (7 and older) in need. When you get a shot at Walgreens, they will then provide a shot for those children. These immunizations help protect children from illnesses like whooping cough and meningitis.
Get a shot, #Giveashot
