Recently a school age child in LA died of SSPE, a rare complication of measles infection from infancy before the child was able to be vaccinated.

Vaccination is not just about protecting yourself — it’s about protecting your family, your neighbors, and especially children who are too young to be vaccinated.

To learn more about measles please take a look at CHOP's resources @ https://www.chop.edu/vaccine-education-center).

We all know that exercise is good for the body and mental well being. As the temperature cools lets work to get our children outside and active.

Exercise can significantly reduces BMI, lipid levels, and fasting blood glucose in overweight and obese children and adolescents. This is turn decreases the risk for cardiovascular disease. Studies found children who exercise with moderate-vigorous intensity 3 times per week for 12 weeks, lasting 50 minutes per session had the most success in lowering their cardiovascular risk.

Aluminum in vaccinations: Is it safe?

Yes, Aluminum is one of most common metals on Earth. We are exposed to aluminum through the air, water, and foods. It is found in higher concentrations in breast milk and formula (especially soy formula) then found in vaccinations.

COVID Vaccinations will soon be available. Due to possibilities of more limited approval on September 18-19th we will make a push to vaccinate as many patients & parents as possible. If you or your child has any of the risk factors, we will proceed with vaccination until the guidance changes. We will also provide flu vaccinations at the same time as the COVID vaccination. However, given the FDA's recent announcement our process of administration will need to change. Anyone who wants the COVID vaccine will have a discussion with one of our doctors to ensure and document that they are high risk and give informed consent. Please read more information about the risk factors and this process on our website.

COVID vaccinations for children under 5 years are on backorder through Moderna. Vaccinations for 5-11 year should be in next week. We will keep families updated once available.

Flu and COVID for VFC (Vaccines for Children) for AHCCCS plans & Self Pay come from the state and they are not accepting orders yet. We will notify families once we have them in stock.

Please do not call the office, we will continue to keep families updated on our website (www.mesquitepediatrics.com), via messaging, and Facebook. Booking the vaccinations will occur only online through our website.
