Some individuals wrongly assert there is a link between vaccines and autism. Before the claim was discredited, researchers took it seriously, investigated it thoroughly, and found no link. This research, in many countries, involving thousands of individuals, has spanned multiple decades. Any effort to misrepresent sound, strong science poses a threat to the health of children and does a disservice to the autistic community.

Immunizations are important to help children stay healthy, so they can learn, grow and thrive. If parents have questions about vaccines or autism, we encourage them to talk to their child’s pediatrician. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4nI0Rnb

Science people… science!!! Listen to the experts.

ACOG reaffirms the safety and benefits of acetaminophen use during pregnancy.
More than two decades of research have found no causal link between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in children. Acetaminophen continues to be an important and safe option for managing pain and fever in pregnancy—conditions that can pose serious risks to pregnant patients and their fetuses if left untreated.

ACIP panel has distanced itself from science. The AAP will have to take over on its own until respect for science is restored.

Today’s meeting of the federal Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) promoted false claims and misguided information about vaccines as part of an unprecedented effort to limit access to routine childhood immunizations and sow fear and mistrust in vaccines.

Until we can again trust the recommendations made by our federal government, AAP will continue stepping up and working with our local, state and federal partners to make sure every child in every community continues to have access to immunizations.

Hepatitis B is a viral infection that can lead to severe complications later in life, including liver damage, liver failure, liver cancer, or even death.

The hepatitis B vaccine is one of the first vaccines babies receive. Administering it to infants within 24 hours of birth helps to protect both babies and those around them from contracting the virus.

Learn more about why newborns need the hepatitis B vaccine below.

Please read and share. If someone has an anaphylactic reaction epinephrine is the ONLY treatment. Do not waste time with any other medicine (like Benadryl or steroids).

Again RFK jr is lying to the public, making things up (he said ssri make people homicidal). It is outrageous he is I. The position he is in. So dangerous for science

IMPORTANT: Decades of rigorous research, randomized clinical trials, peer-reviewed studies, meta-analyses, national registry studies, and FDA oversight show that psychiatric medications are safe and effective. Medications like SSRIs can be lifesaving if they are taken as directed under the care of an appropriately licensed healthcare professional.

Pediatric health care and strong public health agencies are two planks in the foundation of children’s health and wellbeing. CDC has long been a leading resource for research and evidence-backed recommendations on how to keep children healthy. That changed this week with the abrupt ousting of trusted leaders who refused to follow politically motivated orders instead of sound public health practices. This is a dangerous moment for our country and for the health of every family in every community. Families deserve transparency and accountability when it comes to decisions that affect their health.

Share the facts. Reject the lies. Our childrens healthy future depend on all of us

All vaccines contain antigens that help the body create the immune response needed to protect against an infection. Did you know that kids are exposed to 2,000 - 6,000 antigens every day just by playing on the playground or riding public transit? That’s way more than the number of antigens in any combination of vaccines on the current schedule!

There is no benefit to delaying vaccines – doing so can put your child’s health at risk, especially as the new school year approaches. If you have any questions or concerns about vaccinations for your child, talk with your pediatrician or visit our website.
