Holiday travel is in full swing, and a little prep can make the trip much safer for your kids.

A few quick reminders:

💙 Check car seats for proper installation before you hit the road.
💚 Pack extra meds, snacks, and comfort items.
❤️ Wipe down high-touch surfaces when flying or riding the bus.
💜 Keep kids with fevers, coughs, or stomach bugs home so they don’t spread.

If you have questions about symptoms or need to be seen before you travel, call us at (662) 236-3939. Safe travels and happy holidays!

Protect your baby this RSV season. Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common but potentially serious virus for little ones, especially babies under 8 months.

That’s why we offer Beyfortus: a vaccine that helps protect newborns and infants from severe RSV lung infection through their first RSV season.

Call us at (662) 236-3939 to learn more or schedule an appointment.

At Lafayette Pediatric Clinic, we follow the recommended vaccination schedule from the AAP.

A statement from American Academy of Pediatrics President, Dr. Susan J. Kressly:

The decision by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to downgrade its recommendations to protect infants from hepatitis B is a dangerous move that will harm children.

The American Academy of Pediatrics continues to recommend routine hepatitis B vaccination for all newborns: All babies should receive a first dose of the hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours of birth, a second dose at one to two months, and a third dose at six months. The pacing of these doses has been rigorously tested and proven to be safe and effective over several decades.

Vaccinating all newborns against hepatitis B effectively prevents transmission of the virus to newborns during childbirth, supports them to build immunity against potential childhood infections, and ensures long-term protection into adulthood from a virus that can cause serious liver disease and liver cancer. Infants and children can be exposed to this virus by close caregivers who may not know they are infected. Delaying the birth dose of the hepatitis B vaccine has no clear benefits and leaves children vulnerable to infection.

Fall means leaves, pumpkins, and unfortunately, more sniffles. If your child gets sick, follow these steps:

Make them rest and take in fluids, and keep them home.
Track symptoms. High fever, fast breathing, or worsening condition = time to call us.

At Lafayette Pediatric Clinic, same-day sick appointments and walk-in hours mean you’ve got support when it counts. (662) 236-3939
