Sid the Science Kids airs M-F from 8-8:30 a.m. Getting a Shot, You Can Do It airs 11/20, and 11/30
It’s vaccination day at Sid’s school, and Sid and his friends are a little apprehensive about getting a shot. Thankfully, a very special nurse will be giving the kids their vaccination—Sid’s Grandma! Throughout the special episode, Grandma, Teacher Susie, Mom and Dad all do their part to make vaccination day a fun learning experience filled with music, games and lots of laughs.
The special episode is supported by online games, activities and resources for kids, parents and educators. At PBS KIDS, kids can learn about germs, illness and getting shots through age appropriate activities and videos. For parents and caregivers, PBS Parents features resources to help children cope with illness and overcome fears they may face about going to the doctor. PBS Teachers will host a PBS Teachers live Webinar, Helping Kids Understand Viruses and Vaccinations with Sid the Science Kid on November 17.
