This National Infant Immunization Week, we want to talk to you, parent to parent. We know you may have questions about vaccinating your infant. We know you may have seen things online that have made you pause. This is understandable, but we also know what we have seen in our clinic and from our pediatricians' decades of experience with the science to support it, that vaccines save lives.

The American Academy of Pediatrics calls immunizations the safest and most effective way to protect children from disease, disability, and death, and strongly recommends on-time vaccination for all children. Our team at NWA Pediatrics stands firmly behind that. We also hear the concerns about autism. We want you to know that this has been studied extensively. In December 2025, a WHO expert committee reviewed 31 research studies spanning 15 years and multiple countries and found no causal link between vaccines and autism, reaffirming what the science has consistently shown for decades.

Your child's pediatrician is your best resource, not social media, not influencers, not AI. We are here to help answer any concerns and we welcome every question you bring through our door. Learn more at the links below!

🌀 April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. The pinwheel is the national symbol of child abuse prevention, a reminder that every child deserves a safe, joyful, and healthy childhood.

This year, Prevent Child Abuse America's Pinwheels of Possibility campaign is centered around the simple but powerful truth that when families are supported, children are more likely to thrive! It takes all of us, from home visitors and pediatricians to neighbors, educators, and policymakers, to make that possible!

And the data backs it up:
🏠 Families with home visiting support are 27% less likely to face homelessness
👶 Paid family leave is connected to 14% fewer infant abuse reports
📉 Early home visiting is linked to a significantly lower risk of low birth weight

Prevention is built through awareness, parental education, quality childcare, financial stability, and communities that show up and speak out. When we invest in families, we improve outcomes for children. 🔗 Be part of the solution, visit https://preventchildabuse.org/ to learn more!
