Alleged billboard claims COVID-19 vaccines kill children

The location of the billboard has not been verified. Sticking to key talking points is recommended. Responding with empathy and acknowledging the concerns of parents is recommended, as is explaining how vaccination will help protect both children and their families. Informational materials may also emphasize that vaccines have been rigorously tested to make sure that they are safe for all vaccinated individuals, including children, and that adverse side effects are extremely rare. Reminding people that there is no evidence COVID-19 vaccines are harmful to children and there is considerable evidence that vaccines protect against serious illness and death from COVID-19 in children is also recommended.
