Some of the vaccines are not available through the state and will be ordered privately. Other vaccines are available only for certain ages. Private vaccines and those vaccines given to children out of the approved age ranges may not be covered by insurance. Please click here for more information.

Recent News

New Cholesterol Screening Guidelines
The American Academy of Pediatrics has released a new statement recommending that all children ages 9-11 and 17-21 receive cholesterol screening. This is a change from the new recommendations to screen only those children with risk factors such as family history of cardiovascular disease or high cholesterol, or being overweight. The recommendation suggests that all children, even those with no known risk factors, be screened for elevated cholesterol. We hope to help to earlier identify and respond to elevated cholesterol in an effort to try to curve this risk for later heart disease. Valley Pediatrics will be offering cholesterol screening at ages 11 and 17. The test requires only a drop of blood and we have combined this screen with our routine screen at these ages for anemia to try to minimize additional blood draws.

No Adverse Neuropsychologic Outcomes in Infants Vaccinated in Timely Manner
A recent study in the Journal of Pediatrics in June revealed that children with timely receipt of vaccines in the first year of life showed no significant differences in neuropsychological testing as compared to those on alternate vaccine schedules.

Vitamins and Your Child

We know that good nutrition has always been an important part of overall health. Studies have continued to look at benefits of certain dietary supplements to different aspects of health. One example of this has been the overwhelming amount of literature coming out on the relationship of vitamin D deficiency to multiple disease processes. These studies are relatively new but will help to provide us with more information as more information becomes available.

Vitamins and minerals are important for all children. Some nutrients are essential in that our bodies are unable to produce adequate amounts naturally. Therefore, we need to get these vitamins and minerals from our diet. The majority of necessary vitamins and minerals can be obtained through eating a healthy diet. When children are picky eaters or have limited diets, we may recommend a multivitamin. Additionally, we routinely screen for anemia which can be due to iron deficiency. In these cases, we will recommend increasing iron through the diet and may even advise iron supplementation. We also know that calcium and vitamin D are important for creating strong bones and reducing the risk of osteoporosis later in life. All breastfed infants and infants taking less than 32 oz of formula are recommended to take 400 IU of vitamin D supplemented to their diet. In older children and adolescents, the Institute of Medicine recommended 600 IU of vitamin D. Additionally, children ages 2 - 12 need at least 800 mg of calcium and adolescents between the ages of 12 - 22 need 1200 - 1300 mg of calcium. In cases where the diet is not meeting these needs, a supplement might be recommended.

We do want to remind our patients that many children eating balanced diets do not necessarily require any additional supplementation. Doses of anything in "megadoses" should be discussed with us as many vitamins in large doses don't have proven benefits and may even cause harm.

Please feel free to discuss any supplements that you are thinking of giving your child with us during your visit.
