Vax-Force is a children's book series that explores how vaccination works inside the human body! In the books, Dr. Vaxson explains how trusted doctors and scientists made Vicky the Vaccine. Her mission is to tell Willy the White Blood Cell and his Antibuddies how to find and fight bad-guy germs like Measles, Tetanus, Polio, and COVID-19. Come along on this exciting and educational vaccination adventure with Vax-Force!
Our mission: Help kids and parents understand vaccines
The Vax-Force books were developed with the help of pediatricians, infectious disease specialists, and parents to explain real vaccination science using easy to understand metaphors and illustrations. We believe the best way to educate and address fears about vaccination is to teach children from a young age what shots are, how they work, and why they are so important. Vax-Force provides a fun way for children and adults to learn about vaccination together!
With this book, we hope to empower both kids and parents to understand vaccines and promote vaccination as part of a healthy childhood. Vax-Force supports following the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) vaccination schedule as the best way to protect children and keep them healthy!
Pediatricians and Pediatric Infectious Disease Specialists Recommend Vax-Force
Getting vaccines can be really scary for kids so I am delighted that there is finally a book like Vax-Force to help kids understand how immunizations work and how their own bodies become superheroes using vaccines as tools to fight off harmful infections. Employing simple, direct language and clever, delightful illustrations, Kelsey Rowe and Nick Iannaco’s book makes it clear to kids that getting immunized is a strong and brave and even fun thing to do!
