RSV: When It's More Than Just a Cold
Almost all children get respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) at least once before they are 2 years old. For most healthy children, RSV is like a cold. But some children get very sick with RSV.
Are you expecting? Congratulations! We are now accepting newborns into the practice.
All infants younger than 8 months of age who are born during--or who are entering--their first RSV season (typically fall and winter) should have this immunization.
Our office now has a limited supply of the vaccine available for our patients. The AAP and the CDC recommend everyone age 6 months and older get the updated fall 2024 COVID vaccine.
JDC Pediatrics now has flu vaccine available for our patients. The flu vaccine is recommended for all children 6 months through 18 years of age. This vaccine will provide protection through the 2024-2025 flu season, and your child should receive it as soon as possible.
Certain ADHD medications are currently facing significant shortages. As summer draws to a close, we anticipate an increase in inquiries from parents experiencing difficulties in locating their child's ADHD medication.
Before you pick up the phone to call us for an appointment you may want to check “Is Your Child Sick” on our website's home page. You will find helpful advice on managing your child’s symptoms.
We are now back to seeing well visits AND sick visits at BOTH of our locations. Please take note of whether your appointment is at our Enola office or our Camp Hill office when you schedule. And, as always, your appointment reminder will indicate the location as well.
Please be advised that a parent or legal guardian must accompany ALL patients under the age of 18 to ALL visits. If a minor shows up without a parent or guardian, the visit will need to be rescheduled.
