Latest Information on Autism and Vaccines:

The American Academy of Pediatrics has issued a statement that should be very helpful to parents. We believe strongly that vaccines are extremely safe and have been a public health miracle, saving millions of lives since vaccination began. However, we understand that parents are bombarded with information that is frightening and confusing. Please note the following link and read the statements carefully. We hope this will provide you with the information you need to make an effective and informed decision to vaccinate your child.

American Academy of Pediatrics - http://www.aap.org

Our primary source for information on all things Pediatric - the AAP has nearly a century of experience guiding parents and physicians on the best care of children. The AAP continues to be a reliable source for evidence-based medical information, guidelines for best practices, but you will be pleased to find lots of great information just for you. The AAP has recently added a really great section on immunizations so that you can hopefully wade through some of the frightening information you may be receiving from the media and worried friends, to arm yourself with the latest and most reliable information about this controversial subject.

Kids Home Page - http://www.fda.gov/oc/opacom/kids/

This page is an extension of a good page for you too: www.fda.gov is for you with the latest information on the latest from the Federal Drug Administration - including rationale for drug recalls, precautions and research alike.

The kids' home page has a variety of games and activities to broaden your child's understanding of medicine, his or her body, nutrition, prevention of infection and disease. Recommended for children in late elementary ages on up. They are actually fun and educational for adults too.

MyPyramid.gov - http://www.mypyramid.gov/

Feeding your children in a healthy way is often very challenging and frustrating. This website helps you fill in the gaps on the latest nutrition information. The food pyramid has changed to reflect a more individualized approach to each age and activity level. You can also navigate to a really fun game older kids (age 6+) will enjoy loading up on the proper fuel to get their ship to take off. Lots of fun information for kids, lots of great information for parents.

Travel Health - http://www.cdc.gov/travel

So many of our patients travel internationally, and we find this website absolutely invaluable to guide us and our families with what to consider before travel. Great information is available on immunizations and medications to consider before travel, as well as great information on staying safe wherever you go.
