How do you prepare you 5-11 years old children for covid vaccine?

Ay, good timing na yan! Honestly, a few of us mums talk about this, and the best approach is just being honest pero positive, explain it simply na parang getting shots at school, na it helps their body stay strong against sickness. Pwede mo ring involve them by letting them choose a reward after (like movie night or favorite meal) or bringing a comfort item like their favorite stuffed toy sa vaccination center, kasi nakikita namin na it really helps ease their anxiety. I'd suggest maybe visiting the clinic beforehand if kaya mo, just so they're familiar with the place, at definitely stay calm yourself kasi kids pick up on our nervousness agad. Best talaga na mag-consult with your doctor or pediatrician first though, they can give you specific advice based sa health ng child mo and answer any concerns ka nila personally!
