FYI, at CPCMG, we will be hearing to the American Academy of pediatrics vaccine schedule. 

Children's Primary Care Medical Group is dedicated to providing high quality evidence-based pediatric medical care. This includes following an evidence-based vaccine schedule in order to protect all children from dangerous infectious diseases. We will be using the American Academy of Pediatrics vaccine schedule and more information on this can be found on our Health Hub:

Once again, the secretary of Health and Human Services has released guidelines that are confusing and contradictory. While there are good points in the new nutrition guidelines, those good points are not new information. Furthermore, the guidelines won’t make Americans healthier if the fresh, whole foods that we’ve always recommended aren’t readily available for many Americans.

Last night I worked an extra shift at the extended care clinic. Colds and ear pain were a common theme. So I thought I’d let you know that the latest evidence tells us that not all ear infections require antibiotics.
Of course this is patient dependent so talk to your pediatrician about treatment options for your child.

Part 2 after fully digesting the new CDC vaccine schedule yesterday. It’s long but it’s important. We need universally recommended vaccines because we are a large country with circumstances that do not mirror other countries. Without universal healthcare, paid maternity leave, or paid sick leave, we can not possibly protect all babies and the general population with gaps in vaccination. When vaccines aren’t universally recommended the unintended consequences can be parents opting out, vaccines no longer required for school entry, vaccines unavailable due to cost or decreased use, and possible changes to insurance coverage. This will lead to outbreaks and disease.

I made this video late last night after work after briefly viewing the new vaccine schedule. The new schedule is NOT based on any new evidence and will have a lot of unintended consequences. I wanted to get something out expressing this.
Look for a part 2 in the next few days with more detail now that I have fully digested the new schedule.

Happy New Year!!
Where have I been all this time? New York City! I went with my daughter and despite the cold we had so much fun. I love New York during the holidays.
I also saw my favorite band 3 nights in a row at the world’s best arena, Madison Square Garden, including on New Year’s Eve. Full video recap of the show is on my TikTok.
I hope everyone was able to enjoy time with loved ones and is ready to get 2026 on it’s way.

The is a vital source of evidence based practice for pediatricians. Everything we do from screening for developmental milestones to safety recommendations to advocating for a clean environment to mental health screening to treatment of infections and so much more comes from guidance gathered by the AAP. Losing grant money to research some of these very important child health issues is devastating.

It’s the holidays! This time of year a lot@of us like to decorate and make our homes festive. But that can be hazardous for young children. Here are some safety considerations.

Looking sick because my cold took a sudden turn for the worse. Thank goodness I’m doing better but I did it without antibiotics or over the counter medication, which isn’t very effective.

This is a team of rock stars. I couldn’t do my job without them. I’m so glad we could take them to a nice dinner to celebrate the holidays. Everyone’s secret santa gifts were amazing too!
