Tommy’s Force FieldMarilee Hare

On the day that Tommy had to get his

immunizations, he didn’t know what to think.

When he met the nurse she seemed friendly,

but he still wasn’t so sure . . .

The nurse said something which

surprised him.

She said, “Tommy I don’t know if your mom

told you or not, but you’re here to get a very

special kind of a superpower!”

The nurse explained that there are terrible

invisible bad germs that sneak around trying

to make kids sick.

They try to ruin birthday parties and they

don’t want any kids to have any fun.

5

Getting immunized is like getting

an invisible “force field” which the

bad germs just bounce off of.

The nurse explained that it’s normal

to feel nervous about getting your

superhero boosters. She said that even the

greatest superheros of all times have been

a little nervous.

But it only takes a few seconds to be done

and then the superpowers start to work!

7

“Those are great powers to have,” said the

nurse, “but the powers I’m about to give you

are even better because they help you fight

off bad germs so you can be healthy!”

Tommy asked if he’d be able to pick up

a big truck, or jump onto the top of a

highrise building.

Less than a minute later it was done

and he felt really proud of himself!

It was now time for Tommy to get his

immunizations. He knew it was a good idea,

but he also knew that it would be good if he

sat really close to his mommy so she could

help him be brave.

9

The nurse put leak stoppers on the spots

where the superhero powers had gone in.

She said the bandaids were kind of like

superhero badges.

10

He knew that he was protecting himself

and the people around him by fighting off

terrible invisible germs!

Tommy was glad that he got his

immunization booster power!
