Look at that! ❤️
Halloween festivities have started and are in high gear over the weekend.
Here are some tips to keep your kids safe:
Stay on well lit sidewalks as much as possible
Always accompany your small children
If older children are trick or treating by themselves, set up a time for them to be back and make sure they take a flashlight for after dark
Pay attention when crossing the street. Never assume a car will stop or sees you
Try to do as much of your trick or treating in the daylight as possible
Bright, reflective costumes improve visibility

Let the ghoul times roll. Nice :)
It's officially respiratory season unfortunately. Many viruses are going around including RSV.
Luckily for those expecting, with newborns, or infants 8 months and under there is now an injectable monoclonal antibody to help prevent RSV.
It's trade name is Beyfortus (nirsevimab). This can be given from the day of birth until 8 months age during RSV season which is generally October to February/March.
Most children with RSV recover within 1-2 weeks but a percentage of children do have a more serious course which can lead to hospitalization.
Unlike a vaccine which uses a portion of a virus or bacteria to stimulate your own immune system to develop antibodies, Beyfortus is an already formed antibody that is able to last in an infants system for several months.
If you receive the RSV vaccine for pregnant women at least 2 weeks prior to delivery, your newborn will not typically need Beyfortus as they will receive RSV antibodies from you prior to birth. If you have questions, feel free to discuss with Dr. Brown at your next appointment.
Also feel free to read RSV information on the CDC's website, ... See MoreSee Less
