Sid, star of Sid The Science Kid, the Emmy®-nominated preschool series addresses questions and concerns many kids have about vaccines by looking at the science behind the experience. In a special episode, Sid and his friends learn the basics behind germs, viruses, vaccines as well as getting the full understanding of why they are getting a shot.
