American Academy of Pediatrics has released our annual update to our immunization recommendations to best help children and adolescents build immunity and stay healthy.

Since our founding in the 1930s, the AAP has been creating evidence-based vaccine recommendations that are rooted in the latest science and our deep clinical knowledge about children’s health.

With misinformation about immunizations spreading, AAP is publishing our own, independent vaccine recommendations, including updated recommendations for RSV, influenza, and COVID-19. Read our full policy statement to learn about AAP's updated immunization schedule.

🚨🚨¿Cuando usar un harness vs un booster? 🚘💺👧🏽👦🏻🚙

Is your Little just starting school? There is often a push to move from a car seat with a 5-point harness to a booster seat to make school drop off faster. Keep in mind, booster seats have height and weight minimums (and maximums) but they also require that a child is mature enough to sit correctly all the time. Many Littles meet the height and weight requirements but just aren't there when it comes to maturity. Here is our article about how to tell when your Little is ready to make the switch from harness to booster.

¡Feliz semana de la lactancia materna! 🤱🏽 Las que dan pecho, las que extraen, las que combinan, las que lo intentaron, las que lo hicieron por pocos o muchos días... Todas merecen reconocimiento y apoyo. 🤍

📢 AVISO IMPORTANTE!

18/07/2025

The measles virus is one of the most contagious and infectious diseases known, and the current outbreak is ongoing. As cases rise, vaccinating your children is the most effective way to keep them safe.

High childhood vaccination rates help to create widespread protection against contagious diseases, like measles, within communities. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends all children receive the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine at age 12-15 months, then again at 4-6 years to protect them from these diseases.

Learn more about the current measles outbreak and how you can protect your children and community.

No arriesguen a sus niños a enfermedades fatales y a las cuales no tenemos mucho que ofrecer. Las vacunas salvan vidas y de complicaciones !

Nosotros en el Centro Pediátrico de Corozal Domingo Betances Santos estamos claros y recomendamos la vacunación!

An unvaccinated child is at higher risk of catching measles and losing the chance of a healthy life. Measles is a highly contagious disease that spreads easily when an infected person breathes, coughs, or sneezes.

Make sure your child’s measles vaccination is up to date.
