LOOK FOR THE RSV VACCINE TO BE OUT AT THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER!

RSV hospitalizations in babies dropped by over 50% this year, proving that vaccines and antibody treatments are working — and saving lives.

New data from the CDC shows that the widespread availability of two RSV prevention tools has led to a dramatic drop in infant hospitalizations across the U.S. During the 2024–25 RSV season, hospitalization rates for babies under 8 months old fell by up to 46 percent compared to pre-pandemic seasons. The drop was even more pronounced in newborns under 2 months, where hospitalizations plummeted by more than half. The credit goes to a maternal RSV vaccine and nirsevimab, a long-acting antibody treatment for infants — both of which became widely available for the first time last fall.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of hospitalization in U.S. infants. With nearly every child contracting RSV by age two, severe cases can cause bronchiolitis or pneumonia, especially in the youngest babies.
The maternal vaccine provides early protection through transferred antibodies, while nirsevimab helps shield infants directly during the vulnerable first months. As uptake rose from 30% to 66% during the season, the benefits became clear. Researchers say these findings validate national guidelines and highlight the need for early and widespread access to these life-saving interventions.

Here are some of my favorite alternatives for Easter:

🔸BANDAIDS. Seriously. They love the bandaids.

🔸HOLLOW eggs

🔸Tattoos

🔸Stickers

🔸Yogurt melts (we really like - NOT sponsored)

🔸Goldfish

🔸Fruit loops

🔸Bunny grahams

🔸Freeze dried fruit

🔸Playdoh (just remember to be mindful that playdoh can contain gluten, so this is something to be aware of for gluten-allergic kids).

Also: REMEMBER! No running and eating (see my post from last week for more on this)

There has been a case of measles identified in Oakland County mainly in the Rochesterter area from an adult travelling internationally. There is no need to be concerned at this time and currently there are no changes to the normal vaccination schedule. We will monitor alerts from Oakland County Health Dept as well as from MDHHS. The single best way to prevent measles remains and that is vaccination. Adults make sure you are vaccinated as well as your kids. Call our office if you need to check on their vaccine status
