✨NATIONAL PEDIATRICIAN DAY! ✨

We may have missed National Pediatrician Day yesterday, but our appreciation never stops! Here at Flushing Pediatrics, we are incredibly grateful for the expertise, compassion, dedication, and leadership of Dr. Horning. We celebrate her yesterday, today, and every day for the care she provides to our patients and families.

This post from Dr. Zachary Rubin really resonates. Pediatricians today face unprecedented challenges, not only caring for children but also combating misinformation to keep our patients safe and healthy.

HIB = protection that matters

👂 Epiglottitis (life-threatening throat swelling that can block breathing)
🦴 Bone & joint infections

Before the vaccine, Hib was a leading cause of severe illness and death in young children. Now? Rare - thanks to vaccination. 💪

We continue to stand with the American Academy of Pediatrics and support the recommended vaccine schedule, which is based on science and evidence, not political opinion. We understand this is a difficult time with so much misinformation, and we are here to answer any questions you may have.
