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: bit.ly/2DMdCuh

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: ow.ly/xEks50LmZhX

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

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. ow.ly/YPzX50HGGBV

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
