We hope you're having a wonderful Spring Break!
This month's One Pediatrics Healthy Living blog post is about water safety. Please take a few minutes to read it and prepare for the warm months ahead. Even if your family members are great swimmers, your knowledge could be valuable for someone else's child.

As soon as daylight saving time begins and we enjoy more sunshine, many families eagerly anticipate their spring break and summer vacation. It’s never too early to plan for water safety, and some p…

Every provider and staff member at our practice is deeply committed to children's health and safety. By answering questions honestly during appointments, parents and doctors uphold those priorities together. We would like to remind families that when pediatricians ask about guns in the home, our intention is never to judge or to "flag" anyone. We ask because we can direct you to resources for free gun locks if needed. Visit https://projectchildsafe.org/ to learn more.

We strive to address a variety of topics on the One Pediatrics blog, including difficult subjects. Self-harm is no exception, and we hope families find helpful information in this post to learn and/or share with others.

Most contemporary parents are at least familiar with the notion of self-harm, and increasing numbers of families are dealing with it firsthand. Non-suicidal self-injury, or NSSI, refers to a person…

As part of ⭐️FLU VACCINE EDUCATION WEEK⭐️, we want to talk about where you get vaccines for your kids!

DOES IT MATTER WHERE WE GET A FLU SHOT?

Many places, including pharmacies and retail clinics, offer flu vaccines. We know you have options, but your pediatrician is ideal for several reasons:
1. We know your child and they know us. A familiar, family-friendly environment where staff are accustomed to vaccinating a variety of age groups can be especially helpful for nervous kids. We already have your insurance information on file as well, so the process is smoother for busy parents.
2. Their immunization record is readily updated with this year’s flu vaccine.
3. Not all pharmacies or retail clinics will vaccinate children of any age. Most have specific age-related policies. PLEASE NOTE that the Covid-19 vaccine received special clearances to immunize as many people as possible—a clinic that gave a Covid vaccine to a 5-year-old may not be able to give a flu shot to the same child.

To reserve a spot at our FLU VACCINE CLINIC on 10/5 or to schedule another time, please call us at 502-895-0524. The clinic will take place from 4:30-6 pm for patients age 6 months and up with commercial health insurance.

Another day, another chapter of ⭐️FLU VACCINE EDUCATION WEEK⭐️

WHAT IF MY CHILD JUST HAD A FLU SHOT IN THE SPRING?
Even if someone in your family received a flu vaccine in March or April, the American Academy of Pediatrics says they should still get another one now. That previous vaccine was manufactured to fight the strains of flu anticipated for Fall 2021, and this year’s vaccine is different. You don’t have to be on a 12-months-apart schedule for flu vaccines.

We'll continue sharing helpful information for the rest of the week! To reserve a spot at our FLU VACCINE CLINIC on 10/5 or to schedule another time, please call us at 502-895-0524. The clinic will take place from 4:30-6 pm for patients age 6 months and up with commercial health insurance.

It's Day 2 of ⭐️FLU VACCINE EDUCATION WEEK⭐️
Each day this week, we're posting Q&As to share helpful information leading up to our FLU VACCINE CLINIC on October 5!
Let's continue...

WE’VE GOTTEN A VACCINE BEFORE AND MY CHILD STILL CAUGHT FLU THAT YEAR.
“As a parent, you may have been discouraged in the past if your child got their vaccine and still contracted flu,” says Dr. Eliot Thompson at Springs Pediatrics. “The influenza virus evolves each year, and vaccines are carefully manufactured to offer the best prevention possible. No one knows for sure how the virus will continue to change, but at a minimum, vaccination can help prevent serious complications.”

WHAT COMPLICATIONS?
Flu is a notorious vehicle for pneumonia. Any compromise to the immune system is an opportunity for further illness, and children with asthma are especially vulnerable to respiratory distress. Fever is also a primary symptom of the flu, which can become dangerous if prolonged. Even children who are otherwise healthy and have no other medical conditions can be hospitalized with flu and develop life-threatening complications.
Remember too that viruses don’t call “dibs” on a host. Anyone can contract more than one virus or infection at a time, forcing even the healthiest bodies to work that much harder. If you can prevent one virus and/or its more serious symptoms, that’s a positive start.

Look for more information all week! To reserve a spot at our FLU VACCINE CLINIC on 10/5 or to schedule another time, please call us at 502-895-0524. The clinic will take place from 4:30-6 pm for patients age 6 months and up with commercial health insurance.

It's ⭐️FLU VACCINE EDUCATION WEEK⭐️ at Springs Pediatrics!
Each day this week, we'll be posting Q&As to share helpful information about this important annual task. We'll be hosting a FLU VACCINE CLINIC on October 5 from 4:30-6 for patients age 6 months and up with commercial health insurance.
To kick off, let's address the most obvious question...

DOES MY CHILD REALLY NEED A FLU SHOT EVERY YEAR?
Yes! All children ages 6 months and older should receive a flu vaccine every year unless they have a history of allergic reaction to a flu vaccine or other limitation. Getting a vaccine as soon as they’re offered is preferable—influenza commonly spreads as the weather turns colder and people spend more time indoors. Shots and nasal spray vaccines are both effective, though quantities of the nasal spray are typically limited.
