The study is recruiting families from across Canada with children aged four to 11 who have not yet been immunized against the novel coronavirus.
“What we know is that these vaccine injections can be stressful, they can be painful, they can be scary for some families. What we’re really excited about is that as a team of researchers, we know the simple but powerful things we can do to make these vaccine injections less painful, less scary, and actually empowering for kids and families.”Article content
Families are also asked to fill out questionnaires and take part in a short telephone interview. Participants also receive $40 in gift cards for participating. “The goal is to really share what we know from decades of research, as well as some really exciting recent research out of our research centre, and actually use it to improve these experiences,” Noel said.Article content
