The Fruitful Toolkit has been updated to include promoting vaccines for children ages 6 months and older.
Across the country, the COVID-19 pandemic has had devastating effects, and the best way to keep schools and communities safe from the virus is to increase vaccination rates.
To make it easier for schools to send messages related to the COVID-19 vaccine to children and adolescents, staff and families, Children’s has developed the Fruitful campaign, in partnership with Nebraska Department of Education’s Healthy Schools Program. With the help of Children’s medical experts, the campaign messages are fact-based and accurate.
The Fruitful COVID-19 Vaccine Toolkit is free and we encourage schools to use the resources below to send positive and factual messages to students and families about the benefits of getting the COVID-19 vaccine. The sooner we increase our vaccination rates, the sooner we get back to the version of life that we all miss.
Let’s make it a fruitful school year!
