Congratulations to our senior fellow, @ShannonHainesMD, who was presented the Child Advocate of the Year by the @NebAAP! Phenomenal work.

It is not too late to get the flu vaccine! Around 80% of all flu cases occur in January, February and March. Children 6 months of age and up should get the flu vaccine to reduce their risk. Don’t let the flu stop you: https://t.co/wz82PLNA6L

[Nebraska Chapter AAP @NebAAP]

@PowersFor The @NebAAP advocated in opposition as we recommend for no change to current vaccine policy (§79-221) in regard to parent refusal of school vaccination!

Respiratory illnesses like the flu and RSV are still spreading in many communities. Handwashing is one of the best ways to keep your child and household healthy. Learn more #ABCsOfRSV and #RSVprevention tips here: https://t.co/4C2j2QsRiL

[American Academy of Pediatrics @AmerAcadPeds]

RSV is a very common virus and normally just causes cold symptoms, but some kids will have breathing issues. If a child's breathing looks like the baby's chest in the video, #CallYourPediatrician. Learn more from AAP’s parenting website @healthychildren: https://t.co/VtQthcRKjT

Today’s Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade means that the once Constitutionally protected right to access an abortion is no longer guaranteed nationwide. 1/3

[American Academy of Pediatrics @AmerAcadPeds]

The AAP applauds the @US_FDA’s decision to remove all JUUL products from the market, marking a major victory for public health. Eliminating these appealing and addictive products from the market is a long overdue step to protect youth. 1/2

Why are over 95% of doctors vaccinated against Covid? Because we are the experts.

[American Academy of Pediatrics @AmerAcadPeds]

We’ve learned during the pandemic that going to school in-person is how children learn best. @healthychildren shares ways to keep students as safe as possible in schools, including vaccinations, universal masking, physical distancing and testing access. https://t.co/NP7TBS1mcM

[Ohio AAP @OHPediatricians]

Today's National Day of Action for Firearm Safety by #T4CIP is an especially important issue to the Ohio AAP. Since 2015, the #StoreItSafe program has worked to reduce unintentional gun injuries and deaths in children, and suicides by firearms in adolescents. #SaferStorage

[SE.Dist.Health.Dept. @SEDistHD]

Southeast District Health Department will have an evening clinic on Thursday, October 7th from 2 PM to 7 PM. No appointment is needed, just walk in, we're here to help. View the images in this post for further information.
Today, we have our Pfizer & Johnson & Johnson walk-in

[Douglas County Health Department @HealthDouglasCo]

DCHD says it’s time to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Hospital COVID wards are full or filling. Please do the right thing. #Omaha #NECOVID19 @Omaha_Scanner @OmahaFireDept @OmahaPolice @noiseomaha

[University of Nebraska Medical Center @unmc]

"It is still very important for anyone that hasn't been vaccinated to get vaccinated while we are seeing this delta strain spreading."

[American Academy of Pediatrics @AmerAcadPeds]

The Delta variant of COVID-19 is highly contagious and it's a serious risk to people who are unvaccinated, including children. @AAPPres explains more with @HHSGov! #AskThePediatrician https://t.co/7biCjCHFPQ

[Three Rivers Public Health @threerivers_ph]
