AAP President Dr. Susan J. Kressly responds to the recent changes on the CDC’s website - “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website has been changed to promote false information suggesting vaccines cause autism. Since 1998, independent researchers across seven countries have conducted more than 40 high-quality studies involving over 5.6 million people. The conclusion is clear and unambiguous: There’s no link between vaccines and autism. Anyone repeating this harmful myth is misinformed or intentionally trying to mislead parents.

We call on the CDC to stop wasting government resources to amplify false claims that sow doubt in one of the best tools we have to keep children healthy and thriving: routine immunizations. The American Academy of Pediatrics stands with members of the autism community who have asked for support in stopping this rumor from spreading any further."

🩺𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐇𝐏-𝐅𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 & 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝: 🤒

Did you know that fevers are usually harmless and even a good sign that your child’s immune system is working? While it’s important to look for the cause, the main goal of treatment is to keep your child comfortable.

Key points for parents:

🧡A fever is typically defined as a temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher.

💚Most fevers mean the body is fighting infection and don’t need treatment unless your child is uncomfortable.

💙Call your pediatrician right away if your child is under 3 months old with a fever, has a temperature above 100.4°F, or shows serious symptoms like breathing problems, or persistent vomiting.

💚Use digital thermometers avoid mercury ones.

🧡Treat discomfort with acetaminophen or ibuprofen (never aspirin).

💙Keep your child hydrated, dressed lightly, and resting in a cool environment.

Febrile seizures can happen in children under 6, but they are usually harmless.
