🚨There is no scientific evidence proving that acetaminophen use during pregnancy causes autism.

Fever and pain in pregnancy should not be ignored, as both can create risks for the baby and/or pregnant individual if left untreated.

When treatment is needed, Canadian health experts recommend acetaminophen as the first option. It should be used only when necessary, at the lowest effective dose, and for the shortest necessary time.

Nova Scotia Health continues to follow the guidance of the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada and Health Canada. Families and pregnant individuals are encouraged to speak with their healthcare provider for advice specific to their situation.

Today, September 10, Nova Scotians aged 75 and older can book their free RSV vaccine through pharmacies and public health, with the first appointments Monday, September 15. Primary care providers will begin offering the vaccine in November.

The program for infants under eight months will be offered every year during the RSV season, which typically begins in late fall and lasts until spring.

This year, the program runs from October 15 to April 30.
