Energy drinks may seem harmless, but they can contain high levels of caffeine and added stimulants that are not safe for children and teens.

These drinks can lead to:
• Increased heart rate and blood pressure
• Sleep problems
• Anxiety or nervousness
• Difficulty concentrating

Children and teens are more sensitive to caffeine, and too much can have serious effects on their growing bodies.

💡 Healthier choices matter! Encourage water, milk, or other low-sugar, caffeine-free options instead.

Let’s work together to keep our kids healthy and safe 💚

National Infant Immunization Week highlights the importance of protecting infants from serious diseases by keeping them up to date with their well-child visits and recommended immunizations. Ideally, this protection begins with vaccination during pregnancy.

Prenatal vaccinations keep both mothers and their babies safe. By getting vaccinated during pregnancy, antibodies are passed to the developing baby. The antibodies help protect the newborn until they can get vaccinated themselves.

For more information talk to your healthcare provider. Reliable sources of immunization information can be found here https://www.health.state.mn.us/people/immunize/basics/imminfo.html
