🦠Dragonfly Flu Clinic🦠.
🎅🏻Stay Healthy for Christmas!🎅🏻

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that children and teens receive an annual influenza vaccine this fall to keep them healthy and active in the classroom as they begin a new school year.

In the policy statement, "Recommendations for Prevention and Control of Influenza in Children, 2025–2026," the AAP advises that all healthy people ages 6 months and older are vaccinated to protect against flu and keep their communities safe. Any vaccine appropriate for age and health status can be used.

Your child's immune system is learning, too
"Children are more likely to get sick during the school year because they are in such close proximity to each other in class, over lunch and in play areas," said Kristina Bryant, MD, FAAP, a member of the AAP Committee on Infectious Diseases.

"Getting children vaccinated is like giving their immune system a book that teaches their bodies to recognize and resist a disease. Immunized kids are healthier kids who can focus on growing, playing and learning."

The 2024–2025 influenza season was an especially high-severity season for people of all ages, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC reported 253 influenza-related pediatric deaths through June 21,2025. Of those, 42.7% occurred in children without a high-risk medical condition.

Historically, up to 80% of influenza-associated pediatric deaths have occurred in unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated children. Children younger than 5 years are especially vulnerable to severe illness and hospitalizations or death due to influenza.

"Each year, it is possible that flu, COVID-19, and other common viruses will spread at the same time," Dr. Bryant said. "Sometimes, the vaccine is not an exact match with the strains in the community. But the vaccine still can protect against serious illness."

🚂 Day 2 of ‘After the Toy is Home’ Safety Recommendations. 🚂

Holidays with the family are always fun! But your 10 year old nephew may get a Christmas gift that your toddler really shouldn’t play with.

Many of the toys for the bigger kids can contain small parts that can pose a choking hazard to younger family members.

Keep everyone safe and out of the hospital. Make sure little hands don’t have access to small toys or toy parts.
