Free picture book for kids aged 3 to 8
What are germs? Why do we get needles? Beat the Bugs answers the questions kids always ask. Written in rhyme, it explains how germs work, how the immune system fights back, and why vaccines give the body a head start.
Reading it together before an appointment gives kids the chance to ask questions while they're calm, which makes vaccination day easier for everyone.
