[Sid] Oh, hi, it's me, Sid! And I've got the most amazing, super duper news in the whole world! Today, my grandma is coming to school! How cool is that? ♪ Grandma's coming to school today! ♪ ♪ Ba da da da do do di do do...psssh! ♪ ♪ She's the best grandma in the world! ♪ ♪ Ba na na na na na... oweeoweeowee...blam! ♪♪ Yeah, thank you, audience, woohoo! Oh, I forgot to tell you why Grandma's coming to school. My grandma is a nurse, so she's giving me and my friends a shot. It's because our moms and dads want us to get a flu vacci-shmation. Well, it's something like that. Anyway, I know my grandma loves me, so there must be a good reason for getting a shot, because, hey, shots kind of hurt. So I just gotta know! Why do I have to get a... [echo effect]...shot? [Mom] Sid, breakfast time! [Sid] Breakfast Time! Hey, good morning, Mom, morning, Dad! [Mom and Dad] Good morning, Sid! [Sid] So today's a really, really, really special day! ♪ Grandma's coming to school today! ♪ [Dad] ♪ Doo be doo be doo be doo be do bop! ♪♪ [laughter] [Sid] Hey, Mom, what's that thing called when you get a shot? [Mom] You mean a vaccination? [Sid] Oh yeah, that's it. Well, I'm not so sure I want a vaccination. Hey, maybe I don't even need one. [Mom] Sid, sweetie, your dad and I love you, and we think getting a vaccination is the best way to stay healthy so you don't catch the flu virus. [Sid] A flu walrus? [Dad] No, it's a flu virus. See, a virus is something that can make you sick. Remember last winter I had the flu virus? I had a fever, and all day long I went uh-uh-uh-uh-achooo! And I also went [coughs]. And I felt all... [hacking, yacking sounds]. I wish I had gotten a flu vaccination. Then maybe I wouldn't have gotten so sick. [Mom] And lucky for you, today Grandma's going to give you a vaccination for the new flu virus. [Sid] So all I have to do to stay healthy is get a vaccination? [Mom] Well, a vaccination is a great way to stay healthy, but you also need to sneeze into your elbow, or use a tissue and throw it away, and most important... [Mom and Dad] Wash your hands with soap and water! [Zeke] Wash da han wif hope an bater! [Mom] And here at home, we could probably do a little extra cleaning to get rid of germs. What do you think, Mort? [Dad] Great idea, Alice! I'm on it! Okay, where are all the places we touch? [Sid] I know what I'm going to do. I'm going to eat breakfast so I can go to school and see Grandma!

Let's go get some answers! Hi, Gabriela. [Gabriela] Hello. [Sid] Ooh, that's a really nice giraffe. [Gabriela] Thank you. [Sid] I have a question: Have you ever had a shot? [Gabriela] Yes! I got a shot last year, and so did my big brother. Then we got two stickers each! [Sid] Two stickers! Wow, I love stickers! [Gabriela] Me, too! [Sid] Hey, Gerald -- [Gerald] Runaway train! [Sid] Oh, no, you're way off the tracks, buddy. [Gerald] Coming in for a landing! Uh-oh, I hit a giraffe. [Sid] Hey, Gerald, have you ever had a shot? [Gerald] Yes, I have, and my dad had one, too. Hey, Sid, my dad told me a joke to make me feel better. [Sid] Ooh, can I hear it? [Gerald] Okay, why do chickens sit on their eggs? [Sid] I don't know. Why do chickens sit on their eggs? [Gerald] Because they don't have chairs! [Sid] Ha, that's a good one. Because they don't have chairs! That's funny! Hi, May. [May] Hi, Sid. [Sid] I have a question. Have you ever had a shot? [May] A shot? Sure, I've had one. No big deal. You know who else had a shot? My cat Mushu... at the vet. You know what she thought about getting a shot? Meow, meow, meow. That means "no big deal." [Sid] Wow, you and Mushu are cool. [May] Thank you. [Sid] Welcome. And now the results of my survey. May and her cat have had shots. Gerald and his dad have had shots. Gabriela and her big brother have had shots. And maybe you know someone who's had a shot, too. Maybe it's you! And there you have it. I am Sid, roving reporter and shot expert. [Susie] Everybody, Rug Time! [Sid] That's Teacher Susie! [Susie] And remember to wash your hands! [Sid] Right, we gotta wash our hands! [Gerald] Oh, okay. Hey, guys, wait a second.

[Gerald] Hi. [Susie] Gerald, did you remember to wash your hands before coming into the classroom? [Gerald] Oh, no, I forgot! [faucet running] [Gerald] Okay, all washed. [Susie] Gerald, did you remember to use soap? [Gerald] Oh, I forgot that, too! [faucet running] [Gerald] Okay, all soaped up. [Susie] Gerald, did you remember to dry your hands with a paper towel? [Gerald] Yes, I did. [Susie] And did you remember to throw that paper towel into the trash can? [Gerald] Oh, no, I left it on the sink! [crinkling sound and trash can lid shuts] [Gerald] Okay, now I'm really ready! [Susie] Great, Gerald, and I think Sid is ready, too. Sid, would you like to introduce our special guest today? [Sid] Ooh, I sure would! Ladies and gentlemen, our special guest today likes to scuba dive and hang glide, and she gives the best hugs in the whole world, and she's a nurse, and she's my grandma! [applause and cheering] [Susie] Sid's grandma, welcome! [Grandma] Hello, hello, hello! Oh, looky here, you look like a nice young man. So what's your name? [Sid] Grandma! [Grandma] Oh, it's my Sid! Hey, kiddo! [May] Sid's Grandma, are you really a nurse? [Grandma] Oh, you betcha, kiddo! I've been a nurse for 37 years! [Gerald] What's the coolest Band-Aid you've ever seen? [Grandma] I brought it with me today. It's a Band-Aid with a picture of a bear wearing a cowboy hat! [Gerald] Oh, wow. [May] If you're a nurse, does that mean you give shots? [Grandma] Oh, you're talking about a vaccination shot. I sure do, May. [Susie] And that's exactly why Sid's grandma is here. Remember I sent home a note to your parents asking about a flu vaccination? [Kids] Yes. [Susie] Well, they all gave permission, and today's the day. [Gabriela] Oh, I forgot. Uh, I'm not sure I want a shot. [Grandma] Well, I know shots hurt a little, but I have to use a needle because it's the best way to get that vaccination into your body. [May] The vaccination goes into your body? [Grandma] It sure does, kiddo. The vaccination protects your body so the bad ol' flu virus won't make ya sick. I got my vaccination last month, and now I'm healthy as can be! [Gabriela] Wait, the vaccination protects us? How does it do that? [Susie] You're all asking great questions. And I know getting a shot doesn't seem like fun, but when you think like a scientist, getting a vaccination is actually a really good thing! Let's see, do I have any scientists here? [Kids] Me! I am! Right here! Over here! [Susie] Okay, scientists, let's take a look at what really happens when you get a vaccination. [Gerald] What's that stuff inside the needle? [Susie] Well, that's the vaccination. It's medicine that helps your body make antibodies. [Kids] Antibodies? [Susie] Yes, antibodies in your body fight the virus and protect you so you won't get sick. That means you're immune. [May] Oh, I want to be immune! [Kids] Yeah, I wanna be immune, too! [Susie] That's great! Now that you're all thinking like scientists, I think you're ready for your vaccinations. Let's all go to the -- [Grandma] I know! To the Super Fab Lab! [Kids] Yeah, to the Super Fab Lab! [music playing] [All] Super Fab Lab! [Kids] Investigate, explore, discover...ah! [Grandma] ♪ La la la la la... hm hm hm ♪♪ All right, kiddos, let's form a line right here. Susie, you, too. [Kids] Teacher Susie? [Susie] Well, the flu can spread pretty fast around a school, so I need a vaccination, too. [Grandma] And you know what, the flu can spread pretty fast around the whole town. So by getting a vaccination today, you're helping to keep yourself healthy and the whole town. How about that? [Kids] Pretty cool. [Grandma] Okay, any volunteers to go first? [Gerald] I'm ready. [Grandma] Okay dokey, here's the vaccination. I have one for each of you. [Gerald] Whoa, wait. Actually, I'm not ready. [Grandma] Well, I know something that will make getting a shot much easier.

[Sid] Hey, you're a scientist and you think like a scientist! When you sing our song, I bet you can do this, too! [Susie] Okay, it's time to get the new flu vaccination! First, a nurse will wash her hands with soap and water. Then she'll clean your arm with rubbing alcohol. And now you're ready for your vaccination. Good job! Some of you will get a vaccination that looks like this. There's no needle. It's a spray that goes into your nose. Ready? Big sniff. And now one more. You did it! If you do get a shot, it might hurt a little, but it will help you stay healthy for a long time! And remember, when you get your vaccination, you can sing this song! ♪ Hey, kids, we're ready to roll! ♪ ♪ Stopping that virus, that's our goal! ♪ ♪ So come on, everybody, we're getting the shot. ♪ ♪ It might hurt a little bit, ♪ ♪ but it's gonna help a whole lot! ♪♪ You did it! Soon your body will start making antibodies to protect you from the flu virus. And then you'll be immune! Way to go, scientists! [Grandma] Alrighty, kiddos, I'm off to the other classrooms to give more vaccinations. [Sid] Hey, Grandma, you can teach them your new song! [Grandma] Oh, good idea, Sid! I will. Bye bye now! [Sid and Kids] Bye, Grandma! Bye, Sid's Grandma. [Susie] Well, now that you've all gotten your shots and your Band-Aids, I hereby declare that you're all vaccination experts! [Kids] Yay! [Susie] And I think it's time to go play with all your new ideas! [Kids] [cheering] [laughing] [Gabriela] Let's play pretend! Me, Sid and May will be antibodies! [Sid and May] Yes! All right, I'm an antibody! [Gabriela] And, Gerald, you're going to be a flu virus. [Gerald] Do viruses wear chef's hats? [Gabriela] They do now! Okay, let's play! [Sid] Get the grapefruit hats. [Gabriela] You're a yucky, yucky virus, and you're trying to make a body sick. [Gerald] Okay, watch out, body! Raah! Raah! Raah! I'm making a body sick! I'm making a body sick! [Gabriela] Oh, no, you don't, Mr. Virus! This body just got a vaccination! And it made me! I'm an antibody and I'm here to stop you! [Gerald] Well, you're just one antibody, and I'm a big, tough virus. You can't stop me. [Gabriela] Yes, I can. This body is immune! It has lots of antibodies! [Sid] I'm an antibody! [May] Me too! [Sid] Ha-ya! [Gabriela] Ha-yoosh! [May] Ha -- [giggles] [Sid, Gabriela, May] Let's get that virus! [Gabriela] Let's go! [Gerald] Oh, no, the antibodies are getting me! This body is immune!

[Sid] Hey, my dad's cleaning our house to get rid of germs. Is that the same thing? [Susie] It sure is. A virus is a kind of germ. And germs can travel around on all the things we touch.

That reminds me, did I ever tell you that when I was in school, I learned about the scientist who discovered that washing hands helps to stop germs from spreading around! He was one smart cookie, and his name was Ignatz Semmelweis! [Sid] What? Igna-who? [Grandma] Yes, that's his real name, and he was a real scientist! For years after I learned about him, I couldn't so much as wash my hands without thinking of good ol' Ignatz Semmelweis and how he helped people be healthier. That's right, thanks to him, we know that washing hands helps ya not catch a cold! Thanks, Ignatz! [Sid] Oh, yeah, he's a really cool scientist! [Grandma] Yes, he is. And you can grow up to be a really cool scientist, too! [Sid] Yeah, maybe I will! I have the best grandma in the whole world!
