The CARD System (Comfort, Ask, Relax, Distract) is an evidence-based framework designed to improve the vaccination experience in any clinical setting. By using simple strategies before and during vaccination, the CARD system helps reduce pain, fear, and anxiety — making the process easier for patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers.
Whether you are a parent preparing your child, a healthcare professional, or an educator, CARD provides practical tools and resources to help everyone play their part in creating a more comfortable vaccination experience.
