This has been a very different year with COVID and all the restrictions. With the vaccine becoming available to youth in most places across Canada this week, the Upopolis team wanted to show their excitement by sharing some tips to help you and your child get prepared. 
Krista the Upopolis podcast host is a child life specialist with over 25 years of experience preparing youth and their families for procedures.  In this episode, she gives you ten tips to get prepared for the vaccine. You might notice these tips look similar to ones that Tija, the Upopolis social coordinator shares each week on Upopolis's  Facebook and Instagram known as #TipTuesday.
