Protect your child against
the flu.
The CDC now recommends that
all
children from age 6 months to 18 years receive the flu vaccine.
The Flumist (intranasal spray) is available now at the Children's Clinic to
protect children and adolescents age 2 years and up. The flu vaccine (injection)
will be available at the end of September.
Protect your family for
hurricanes
As hurricanes threaten the Gulf Coast, the AAP offers
resources for families and pediatricians.
Vaccines Save Lives
As the U.S. experiences its largest measles outbreak in
more than a decade, the AAP reminds parents why it’s important to protect
children from vaccine-preventable infections.
