As the five to 11 age group is the next to get their COVID-19 vaccination, Sesame Street’s Big Bird is lending his voice to help kids prepare to get the jab while also trying to ease any fears they might have.
I got the COVID-19 vaccine today! My wing is feeling a little sore, but it'll give my body an extra protective boost that keeps me and others healthy.
Ms. @EricaRHill even said I’ve been getting vaccines since I was a little bird. I had no idea!

It’s not the first time Big Bird or the show has been involved in vaccinations either. Sesame Street has tackled vaccinations in the past, in one case with the motto “don’t wait, vaccinate” several decades ago, as well as having the yellow, feathered friend assist in a child immunization campaign.
I didn’t have @JoeBiden enlisting muppets in his crusade to force everyone to get vaccinated on my bingo card either.
The government should NOT force children to take the Covid vaccine. That should be a CHOICE for parents to make.@Alyssa_Milano https://t.co/712inu8Mey
