We've had such a response from readers in other countries, curious about kids masks and vaccine news, we decided to share our research, backed by Centers for Disease Control guidance, on school masks and kids masks, in other languages, in a searchable format, to help guide you. 

 

Of course, please refer to your local guidance in your country or region regarding children's health news and school updates.  We will add links to shopping available to you, online, as quickly as we can.  We hope our guide, based on guidance from medical experts and the CDC is useful to you!  You can use the search box above to find what you are looking for, or browse from the categories, provided:

CDC Mask Guidance Updated:

January 14, 2022

The CDC Guidance for Masks has been updated, as of January 14, 2022.  While they have stressed the importance of filter masks as ensuring protection this year, they also suggest that children may not find such masks the easiest to wear and that universal masking, which includes children wearing masks that are easiest to keep on is among most important guidelines.

For the new CDC outline on filters and updated information, including kids masks, please see CDC updated guidance as of January 14, 2022 on their new webpage.

News!:

Free Quality Kids Masks in US Announced February 16, 2022

This week, the US government announced that it would be supplying quality masks to fit small faces in the coming weeks, as it has recently provided quality N95 masks for adults in recent weeks.

We are happy to share this information with our readers and thank you for supporting the goal of our website:  free health information and tools for all, especially children.

This is great news, even as the guidance on masks is changing, since access to tools like masks for those who want them such as families of children five years of age and under who are awaiting vaccine news and decisions may still be a concern.

To read more about where you can find a free adult sized N95 mask near you, see our guide to sources of free masks and test kits, herel

To learn more about the free quality kids' masks program, this article outlines the goals and expected date of availability.

For Parents, Teachers, Grandparents and Caregivers:

The new guidance recommends the best mask that you can find.  While our focus is on kid's health, we agree with experts on finding a trustworthy distributor when buying a mask for ourselves.  Our researchers found some less than reliable sellers online, however, we did like the 3M filter mask we found on Amazon and it is our preferred choice, when available, for fit, comfort and safety; We suggest you look for the best fit for yourselves and confirm seller ratings to ensure authenticity or buy directly from 3M:

You may also now find free adult N95 masks at your local pharmacy or community health center-- read more about it on our Free Test Kit and Free Mask guide

Update, 2022: Featured Mask: Kids Filter Face Masks

Some of the latest recommendations have included masks with filters to keep everyone safest at school.  This has been re-emphasized as a top choice as of 2022 for everyone.  However, experts also recommend that the best mask is the one that your child will wear.  Some may find specialty filter masks may not be the easiest choice for their kids.

 

*CDC guidance and local school mask rules are continually updating, but a cloth mask with filter insert pockets is a great reusable kids' mask option, if pediatric face masks, KF94 masks, child size KN95 masks and child N95 masks are hard to buy.

** The CDC also suggests that a disposable mask may be worn under a cloth mask as a filter when a filter mask is not available.
