Sammy The Shot: Preparing Children for Vaccinations

It's not surprising that children don't welcome the idea of getting a shot. So it's understandable why parents may avoid telling them ahead of time. However, children respond much better if they are prepared in advance and understand why vaccinations are so important. The book, Sammy The Shot, was written to help parents prepare their young children for getting a shot. In an honest and empowering manner, Sammy, a playful animated shot, reassures children that he has only one mission: to protect them and keep them healthy and well. This fun, engaging story, with its rhyming text and important message, will make the next medical appointment much more comfortable for both children and parents.
