Dear Heritage Pediatrics Community,

So many of our patients and their families have been directly impacted by the floods near Hunt, Texas. We grieve with all of you. The tension is near as we are grateful for the survivors and ache for the missing.
For children and families in need of counseling services, we have resources to offer. For any children who may have had prolonged exposure to the floodwaters, please reach out to your pediatrician here so we can guide you on medical considerations as well as check on your child's tetanus status. We are here when you need us.

-- Dr. Castillo-Hayes, Dr. Crews, Dr. Gibson, Dr. Fitch, Dr. Tardy and the Heritage Pediatrics team

🚨 Measles Outbreak Update – April 2025 🚨
Texas DSHS has expanded the outbreak zone to include:
Cochran, Dallam, Dawson, Gaines, Garza, Lamar, Lubbock, Lynn, Terry & Yoakum Counties.

🏥 If you live in or are visiting these areas, check your child’s MMR vaccine status:

👶 6–11 months → Get an early MMR dose now
👧 1–4 years → May need a second dose
🧒 1+ years with no record → Need two doses, 28 days apart
🧑‍🦱 Adults → May need a second dose, or two if unvaccinated

💉 The MMR vaccine is safe and effective — and it’s the best way to protect your family.

📞 Have questions or need an appointment? Call us at (210) 804-2301.

The number one question we have been receiving about the measles exposure in San Antonio is this: "Should my infant get the MMR vaccine early since they have not yet turned one years old"? It is not time to vaccinate children under 1 years old at this point. We would only recommend that if the risk of local transmission increases significantly. Rest assured, we will be notifying parents with every avenue we have if we do move to this recommendation.

"We have received a high volume of calls related to the measles outbreak in Gaines County located in West Texas. At this time, no special precautions are recommended for families living in Bexar county or surrounding counties. The only special recommendations are for residents of Gaines County.
We are following this outbreak closely and we will keep you updated through social media and our website as needed. Just as a reminder, the best way to protect yourself from the measles is to receive the recommended measles vaccine - the first dose is given at 12 months of age and the 2nd dose is given at 4 years of age. If you would like to learn more about this measles outbreak, you can check the Texas DSHS website: https://www.dshs.texas.gov/news-alerts"
