"HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Oct. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Everyone's favorite preschool
scientist, Sid, star of SID THE SCIENCE KID, is hearing a lot of talk this
fall about how to stay healthy, which leads him to ask lots of questions about
what can make a person sick and what he can do to keep from getting sick. In
the new special episode 'Getting a shot: You Can Do It!' from the
Emmy®-nominated series, Sid and his friends will learn the basic science
behind germs, viruses and vaccines using age-appropriate vocabulary and
scientific concepts that have become a hallmark of the series. PBS KIDS will
premiere the series on Monday, October 26 (check local listings) with several
re-airings over the following weeks.

It's vaccination day at Sid's school, and Sid and his friends are a little
apprehensive about getting a shot. Thankfully, a very special nurse will be
giving the kids their vaccination--Sid's Grandma! Throughout the special
episode, Grandma, Teacher Susie, Mom and Dad all do their part to make
vaccination day a fun learning experience filled with music, games and lots of
laughs."
