Vaccine advocacy for children is more important now than ever before. The message is pretty simple. Vaccines are safe. Vaccines are effective. The vast majority of parents vaccinate their children and support vaccine requirements. #PedSky #MedSky #AAPAdvocacy

Sadly, I hear too many parents decline flu vaccines early in the season because they want to "wait to see if it works this year" -- but by the time we can make that assessment it's already late into the season. The time to vaccinate is before the season starts.

The administration is actively dismantling systems related to vaccines. Choosing strains for next year's flu vaccine needs to occur now to have enough lead time. We are in the worst flu season since 2009, and more than 19,000 people have died from flu already this season. Call your representatives.

#Medicaid Matters In the coming days & weeks you'll hear a lot about #Medicaid as Congressional Republicans look to cut spending to fund a tax cut for the wealthy. In Minnesota ANY cuts to Medicaid would hit rural communities, children & families, those with disabilities & our elderly poor, hard.

Yes! We take care of SO many kids who are NICU graduates, who might have never made it out of the NICU without science. While they are thriving, they still often have complex chronic needs.

In 3 days, the number of measles cases in a highly unvaccinated area of Texas has doubled. There are now 48 cases, all of whom are unvaccinated, and 13 of whom have been hospitalized so far, for a hospitalization rate of 27%. This is huge figure in epidemiology. This outbreak will keep spreading.

Health officials — who are scrambling to get a handle on the vaccine-preventable outbreak — suspect 200 to 300 people in West Texas are infected with measles but untested, and therefore not part of the state’s official tally so far.
