Vaccine Info!

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Recommended

 2011 Childhood Immunization Schedule for the United States .

 

The recommended Immunization Schedules for Persons Aged 0 through 18 years are approved by:

- The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)   www.aap.org

-The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/acip

-The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) www.aafp.org

Flu: 
Seasonal Influenza

 

 

 Immunization against influenza is recommended for everyone, ages 6 months and up.

  • The "flu shot" is an inactivated (killed) influenza vaccine.  It can be given to any child over 6 months old and is the recommended vaccine for children with underlying medical conditions such as asthma or heart disease.

 

  • "Flu mist" is a live weakened virus vaccine which is given into the nose. This vaccine can be given to any healthy child over the age of 2 years.

 

Lead levels and children

 

Low levels of lead in the body are typical and should always be less than 5. Hemoglobin is a measurement of iron in our blood and normal levels are between 10.5-14.5 depending upon a child’s age.

Important Update for Parents on the Use of Car Safety Seats!


The American Academy of Pediatrics  has just released new recommendations that advise parents to keep toddlers in rear-facing car seats until age 2, or until they reach the maximum height and weight for their seat. It also states that most children will need to ride in a belt-positioning booster seat until they have reached 4 feet 9 inches tall and are between 8 and 12 years of age.

Click here for AAP's website for more information.

  • Are they big enough to use a booster? 

  • When do I turn the infant seat around?
