FAQ

COVID-19 generally has mild effects in tamariki and is rarely severe or fatal. Tamariki and rangatahi who have COVID-19 will commonly have no symptoms or only mild respiratory symptoms, similar to a cold. However, some can become very sick and need to go to hospital.
Like adults, if your tamariki are infected with COVID-19, they may transmit the virus to other people. Immunising tamariki and rangatahi helps protect whānau members whose health makes them more vulnerable to COVID-19.
