Improving the Vaccination Experience: Comfort Positions
Having a vaccination may make children and parents feel upset, anxious or stressed. Comfort positions can be used to help make vaccinations a more positive experience.
Different comfort positions can be used to help your child feel secure and to stay still while still allowing their limbs to be exposed for vaccination. Comfort positions also help children feel more in control and help to reduce pain and fear.
Comfort positions can also be used in combination with other strategies from the CARD system. To learn more about CARD, go to CardSystem.ca
