Don’t even think twice about #HPV #vaccination. Have all your children, boys & girls vaccinated. If you didn’t get it and you’re under 45yo. It’s not too late. Talk to your MD @your next office visit. If your MD isn’t sure about this vaccination you need a new Medical Doctor, period.

The sad irony is that when a child gets seriously ill from a vaccine-preventable disease, the parents are going to have to entrust us with saving their child’s life. We’re the same physicians who begged them to vaccinate in the first place. #PleaseVaccinate www.accuweather.com/en/health-we...

We appear to be seeing an uptick of devastating flu-associated Acute Necrotizing Encephalitis in children this season. We've had reports here in No. Cal. Others out of Boston. We're piecemealing things together because there's no active surveillance for ANE, and CDC can't communicate with partners.

A common misunderstanding is that HPV is only a problem for people who are “sexually promiscuous.” The truth: you can get HPV even if you’ve only had ONE partner. Its prevalence in adult populations is very high. So we vax everyone.

I want to point out something important about measles. When you search for images, white people with readily apparent rashes almost always come up. For people of color, the rash may be less red and harder to see. It can be purple, grey, or white in color, or it can appear as a darker brown rash.

The fact that an entire generation of pediatricians has almost zero exposure to the horror of Epiglottitis is a testament to the benefit of the HiB vaccine.

2, then 6, then 12, then 14…18…24, now 48. Mostly in children, all unvaccinated. Vaccination is the containment shield.

The flu may share some symptoms with a cold, like sore throat, runny nose, and cough, but it's much more severe. The flu causes thousands of deaths and hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations in the U.S. each year. Don't risk your health; protect it with a flu shot!
