During the first few years of life, vaccines are an important tool in helping to protect children from potentially serious diseases. It’s common for caregivers to have questions about the current vaccine recommendations. Unfortunately, there can be a lot of misinformation when it comes to vaccines.

To get the most up to date information, caregivers can always consult the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), as well as their pediatrician.

This past Friday, Yale New Haven Health hosted a press conference to emphasize the importance of receiving both the flu and RSV vaccines early in the season. Vaccination is a vital step in protecting vulnerable populations — including older adults, young children, and those with underlying health conditions — from serious illness, hospitalizations, and complications.

Mayor Justin Elicker, Connecticut Department of Public Health Commissioner Manisha Juthani, MD, Lieutenant Governor Susan Bysiewicz, and several other community leaders rolled up their sleeves and received their vaccinations during the event, setting an example for the public.

Also speaking at the event were Katherine Heilpern, MD, president, Yale New Haven Hospital; Thomas Murray, MD, associate medical director of Infection Prevention at Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital and professor of Pediatrics (Infectious Disease) at Yale School of Medicine; Connecticut State Comptroller Sean Scanlon; and Maritza Bond, Director of Health for the City of New Haven.

Meet Henry – a brave young patient whose love of LEGOs has inspired something incredible. While undergoing treatment for leukemia, Henry and his classmates at Jeffrey Elementary School organized a bake sale that raised $17,000 to create our brand-new Bedside Builders LEGO Program within Child Life Services.

Thanks to Henry and the Jeffrey PTA, our team now brings color-sorted, rolling LEGO carts right to patients’ bedsides, sparking creativity, distraction, and joy through building. Kids can join “Make it Mondays” and “Free Build Fridays” or enjoy personalized bedside builds with our Child Life team.

Henry recently helped test the program and proudly built an igloo with a penguin inside!

Thank you, Henry, for turning your passion into something that will brighten the hospital stays of so many children!

Recently, a remarkable 10-year-old artist, Ayden P., hosted his second art exhibition, titled "Step by Step: A Healing Journey Through Art." The exhibition tells the story of his journey with Amplified Musculoskeletal Pain Syndrome (AMPS) - a rare and painful condition that disrupts pain signals between the brain and body, making something as simple as walking a daily struggle. Ayden says, “I remember the nurses always made sure I was good and had everything I needed. I wasn’t home but they took good care of me like my mom would. And they gave me two stuffed animals!”

Creating and sharing his drawings has been an important part of his recovery. Samantha Smith, MD, a Yale Medicine pediatric orthopedist who sees Ayden for follow-up care at Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital, applauds his resilience, “Ayden and his family have been very engaged in treatment to address his condition over the years as his needs have changed. His resilience and positive attitude have played an important part in his recovery, and it's great art has helped him access the mind-body connection that is so critical for patients with chronic pain."

Ayden hopes to raise awareness of AMPS and connect with and encourage others who may be experiencing similar struggles to let them know they are not alone. To learn more about pediatric orthopedic care at Yale New Haven Children's Hospital, please visit http://ynh.care/Va
