Dear Parents,
Happy Tuesday.
Hope everyone is doing well.
There are two announcements.
First I will be out of office this afternoon to attend a funeral.
Office hours will resume this Thursday.

Second, fall is upon us and so is RSV.
Currently there is no RSV vaccine for babies, but only monoclonal antibodies injection.
Monoclonal antibodies injection has been around since 1998 but it was not all babies.
Now we have Beyforus for all infants under 2 years old.

Here is the link for more information.

If you do want your children to have this injection, please let me know. I have to specially order this.
Dr. Lau

Learn about RSV, how it could affect your child, and how Beyfortus® (nirsevimab-alip) injection can provide protection from RSV. See Patient Information Sheet.

Sorry for this inconvenient.

Well Summer break is finally over and some are happy and some are sad.
I still remember way back in Hong Kong when I was in grade school.
I was so unhappy going back to school after summer break.
We were not free of school work during the summer.
Each student would have to finish summer workbooks during summer and hang in on the first day of school.
And I didn’t do any of the workbooks and it was horrible the week before school start.
Well as the saying go “If you play and then you will have to pay sooner or later.”
And in life equation there is always an equal sign and nothing is free but the question is who paying for it.

Now I do have to withdraw some time to pay for something later…cause “The winter is coming.”
The White Walkers of Flu, RSV and many other virus and bacteria will soon be roaming down the school hallways.
I have to rest and be ready for the coming fall and winter.
Therefore, I will take off sometime this month before all the dreadful germs upon us.

My office will be closed from 9/17/25-9/30/25.
I will open on Wednesday 10/1/25 for sick visit.

And as usual I will be only able to contact by email during the time I am away.
My email is office.dr.lau@gmail.com and I will check it once a day.

Again, I could not diagnose and treat your child with just email alone.
If your children are sick, please go to the urgent care at the bottom of this notice.
I also could not do any physical form while I am away.
I could only advice and send in some medication refill, like albuterol for asthma etc.

Lastly thank you for all your lovely comments.
Sorry I could not address each of you individually.
But they are precious to me.

God Bless,

Dr. Lau
