Step 6. Wait for confirmation of your child’s vaccination schedule.

As of the moment, kids’ vaccination in Cagayan de Oro City is strictly scheduled, and no walk-ins are allowed. So, please wait for a confirmation text about your child’s schedule which contains the when and where of their vaccination.

What to expect when kids get vaccinated?

After vaccination, health professionals monitor kids for 15 to 30 minutes. This is to see whether they are experiencing any allergic reactions that require immediate treatment.



Many vaccination sites also offer fun activities for kids during and after vaccination. For instance, superhero characters may come and reassure your child, helping them gain courage for the shot. In the Centrio Ayala vaccination site, they offer treats such as ice cream and cotton candy after vaccination.

Are there any side effects?

Just like with adults, some children will experience the usual side effects such as pain in the vaccine shot area, fatigue, headache, or fever. However, in a report by DOH, out of the 52,000 kids vaccinated since the start of the vaccine rollout, only 4 experienced mild side effects.

All children were taken care of by the health professionals on-site and sent home the same day.
