Alert to a recall on Evenflo car seats

Evenflo has issued a voluntary recall for All4One car seats. Testing found potential for the adjustable recline mechanism to shift from one position to another in rear facing mode. If the recline position changes during a crash, a backseat rider sitting next to the rear facing car seat is at risk of injury if their fingers are inside the recline mechanism.

More info from the SLCH ID doctors:

You may be aware of the recent changes to the childhood vaccination schedule. It should be noted that no vaccine has been removed from the schedule. However, some immunizations have been moved to the category of “Immunizations Based on Shared Clinical Decision-Making.” RSV immunization was moved to the “Immunizations Recommended for Certain High-Risk Groups or Populations.” This group includes any child whose mother was not vaccinated, so the recommendation is essentially unchanged.

As pediatricians, we continue to follow the guidance of the AAP, which continues to recommend the administration of vaccinations as per the previous schedule. There is no new data to indicate that any change is warranted. The AAP-recommended vaccine schedule includes only vaccines that have been studied and shown to be safe and effective. There is ongoing monitoring of all vaccines to ensure that no new safety concerns arise. The immune system is trained by vaccines to respond effectively to infections. A single infectious agent like Strep exposes the immune system to thousands of distinct proteins and sugars whereas all all doses of all vaccines on the AAP endorsed schedule would only expose a child to

Good evening! Just reassuring everyone despite the news today, Arch Pediatrics will continue to follow the American Academy of Pediatrics schedule. We know safety and evidence based medicine and science are very important for your families and sadly, this new CDC schedule has no science to back it up. Luckily insurance companies agree and will continue to cover vaccine payments.

Statement by AAP President Dr. Andrew Racine on today’s HHS announcement about the childhood immunization schedule:

“Today’s announcement by federal health officials to arbitrarily stop recommending numerous routine childhood immunizations is dangerous and unnecessary. The longstanding, evidence-based approach that has guided the U.S. immunization review and recommendation process remains the best way to keep children healthy and protect against health complications and hospitalizations.

For decades, leading health experts, immunologists, and pediatricians have carefully reviewed new data and evidence as part of the immunization recommendation process, helping to keep newborns, infants, and children protected from diseases they could be exposed to in the United States as they develop and grow. Today’s decision, which was based on a brief review of other countries’ practices, upends this deliberate scientific process.

During this uncertain time, the AAP will continue to publish our own childhood vaccine recommendations.”

📢 FLU UPDATE — St. Louis Area 🤧🦠

Influenza A is actively circulating in the St. Louis area right now, and local offices are seeing a noticeable rise in flu cases. This strain is currently the most common type being detected in Missouri, and flu activity tends to increase during the holiday season as families gather and schools are out for break. 

✅ What you should know:
• Flu symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, and fatigue.
• It’s not too late to get a flu vaccine if you and your child haven’t yet. 
• Stay home and seek medical care early if your child is sick.

🩺 For prevention, we recommend hand washing, covering coughs/sneezes, and avoiding close contact with anyone who’s ill.

Stay healthy this season! 💙
