Need a mask or face covering for 2 year old for Boots appointment this afternoon

Any genius ideas? None of my masks fit at all and she's quite distressed when I try other things

It's for a chicken pox vaccination at Boots this afternoon. The email confirming appointment said children require face coverings and this was confirmed on phone when I called to check something else

Just to update - went this afternoon and it wasn't even mentioned for DD (and I forgot about it too so didn't get mask out for her or anything)

Vaccination administered very efficiently and was impressed with pharmacist. Then went to playground to play! Booster in four weeks, and I'll take one as per their apparent policy but I expect as before it won't be requested. I'm glad really as it is a horrible experience for them as it is

When I say I forgot, I meant I forgot about DD being supposed to wear a mask. I wore mine of course!

Did they say when your child will need a booster? Just wondering as I think the vaccine only lasts between 10-20 years and chickenpox can be more serious in adults so something to bear in mind for the future.

Four weeks. I think the jury is out slightly on longevity of immunity but yes we'll absolutely mention it to her, especially as I think it's a good idea to check immunity status prior to pregnancy.
