Should I take my child to the pediatrician during a pandemic?
Finding ways to keep
children safe and healthy is the number one priority of both parents and
pediatricians. The American Academy of Pediatrics shares that "since the onset
of the pandemic, a significant drop
in well-child visits has resulted in delays
in vaccinations, delays in appropriate screenings and
referrals and delays in anticipatory guidance to assure optimal
health."
Christina Holmes, M.D. greets parents with some information
about the importance of well-child visits to track growth & development and
keep vaccines up-to-date. She also highlights what Reid Health is doing to keep
families safe.
