The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently added misleading claims to its autism webpage. We want to be clear: decades of high-quality, large-scale studies show that vaccines do not cause autism. "Parents deserve peace of mind. Decades of rigorous research have shown vaccines do not cause autism," said Dr. Susan Kressly, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics. "Vaccines are one of the safest and most effective ways to protect children’s health and help them thrive."

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. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4rbx4FX

Important: please be aware that there has been an outbreak of botulism documented with the use of ByHeart Infant Formula. All lots have been recalled.
No cases have been documented in Massachusetts to date but please be vigilant if your baby develops symptoms in the 30 days following exposure.
Initial findings include: constipation (this is very common in children so we are looking for a sudden change associated with any of the following symptoms as well), weakness, poor suck/inability to latch, a weak cry, loss of head control and loss of eye movement.
There is treatment if it is started early so please reach out with concerns as botulism can be a very serious infection.

Norwell Pediatrics supports science. Tylenol in pregnancy does not cause autism. And neither do vaccines. Vaccines save lives!

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

A child in California just died from a terrible post measles illness called SSPE. Although it is rare, it is almost universally fatal and specifically occurs about 5 years after developing measles. This poor child never had a chance as they developed measles before being eligible for the MMR. Protect your family, protect your community, get vaccinated!
