When you vaccinate your child, you help stop disease in its tracks. But when too many people can’t access vaccines, it opens the door for dangerous illnesses to come back, especially measles.

Does allergy season have you sneezing indoors, too? Pediatric allergist Dr. Puja Rajani shared some easy ways to keep seasonal allergens out of the house — especially for pet parents! 🐶🐱

🌼 Keep pets out of the bedroom (we know it’s hard 😢).
🌼 Keep pets off furniture or countertops.
🌼 Bathe your pets often. 🛁
🌼 Groom pets outside to keep dander and hair out of the home.
🌼 Use a HEPA air filter to help trap allergens.

🌙 Bonus: Shower/wash your hair at night and change pillowcases often to avoid tracking pollen into bed.
