The #COVID19pandemic has raised critical questions about the impact of maternal #SARSCoV2 infection during pregnancy on both passive immunity in newborns & subsequent child neurodevelopment.

Pediatric Influenza Vaccination Prevents Hospitalizations Across Seasons WEDNESDAY, April 8, 2026 (HealthDay News) -- In pediatric patients, influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE) varied across 2021 to 2024 seasons, but did help preven

#Medsky #IDsky #pedsky #publichealth Maternal #SARSCoV2 infection during pregnancy is associated with altered immune profiles in newborns, primarily through the transplacental transfer of IgG antibodies.

It's a @nfidvaccines.bsky.social double feature later this month with webinars about measles and HPV.

#MedSky + #PedSky + #IDSky - also need to get these speakers to move to @bsky.app.

We get it: parents of #newborns are especially vigilant, & often request urgent consultss on the weird, transient ‘#rashes’ on their baby skin. Fortunately, the nearly all of these cases are benign--a ‘tincture of time’ resolves the issue. Reassurance is a must, but we must listen too. #pedsky

For all that my young patients mention an interest in medicine for a career...quite a few are horrified to think of the prospect of always learning-past when schooling ends. (And, some docs feel that way, too...I actually like it).

Population level studies continue to show the benefits of monoclonal antibodies and maternal immunization for the prevention of newborn RSV.

One might wonder if the #babies plot/scheme/ to pull some mischief once home...away from the company of all of those folks on hand to help? Might seem that way!
