🦠 Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common virus that can cause serious respiratory illness, especially in young children.

❄️ It spreads like a cold, through contact with infected saliva or mucus, and usually peaks from late fall 🍁 through early spring 🌼.

πŸ‘‡ Who is at risk?πŸ‘‡

πŸ‘Ά Infants.

πŸ§’ High-risk children under 2 years old.

❓How can you protect your child❓

🀰 If you're pregnant, receiving the RSV vaccine between 32–36 weeks can help protect your baby from RSV after birth. This means your baby may not need an additional immunization after they're born!

πŸ’‰ For infants under 6 months who didn’t receive this protection in pregnancy, an immunization called nirsevimab (Beyfortus) can help protect them.

πŸŽ‰ This immunization has been shown to reduce RSV-related hospitalizations and healthcare visits by 80% in infants.

πŸ‘‡ When to get it?πŸ‘‡

🩺 The immunization can be given with or between your baby’s routine shots. Talk to your healthcare provider about whether your child needs RSV protection.

πŸ₯ RSV is the leading cause of hospitalization in infants under 1 year old. Keep your baby safe this winterβ€”ask us about RSV immunization today!

β˜€οΈ Sun Safety Tips for Summer β˜€οΈ
Did you know one bad sunburn in childhood can double the risk of skin cancer later in life? Kids spend a lot of time outside in summerβ€”let’s help protect their skin while they play!

Tip #1: Start with Shade & Clothing
βœ… Lightweight long sleeves and pants
βœ… Wide-brimmed hats (3” brim is best)
βœ… Sunglasses with 99%+ UV protection
βœ… Clothing with UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor)

Tip #2: Choose the Right Sunscreen
βœ… Broad-spectrum (UVA + UVB)
βœ… SPF 30 or higher
βœ… Mineral-based: zinc oxide or titanium dioxide
βœ… Fragrance-free and hypoallergenic for sensitive skin
🚫 Avoid spray sunscreens for babies and kids. The propellant chemicals should not be inhaled by children – stick with lotion, cream, or stick sunscreens instead!

Tip #3: Apply Sunscreen Correctly
βœ… Put sunscreen on 15–30 minutes before sun exposure
βœ… Use enough to fully cover skin
βœ… Reapply every 2 hours or after swimming/sweating
βœ… Even on cloudy daysβ€”UV rays still get through!

Tip #4: Shade & Time of Day Matter
βœ… UV rays are strongest between 10am–4pm
βœ… Check your weather app for the UV index
βœ… Plan outdoor activities early in the morning or late afternoon
βœ… Stay in the shade when possible

Tip #5: Start Sun-Safe Habits Now!
βœ… Teach kids to protect their skin
βœ… Set a good example by practicing sun safety yourself
βœ… Choose the right sunscreen
βœ… Cover up, seek shade, and reapply often!

πŸ’‘ Fun in the sun is even better when it’s safe. Teaching kids sun-safe habits now sets them up for a healthy future!
