Parents of young children might be tempted to skip their children's visits to their doctor during the coronavirus outbreak, but experts say parents should try to keep those appointments, even during lockdown.

are assessed at every regular pediatric visit, and with end-of-year celebrations canceled and parents facing unique challenges, Costello notes,"kids feel like it's the end of the world."

For certain appointments, such as those intended to follow-up on known problems, assess new medications or obtain a referral to a specialist,"We think about a quarter of our visits could be managed with virtual visits," Costello said, noting that telehealth has actually enhanced care for some patients.

But telehealth is no substitute for time-sensitive vaccination or sick visits, pediatricians warn, and"you can't really look at an ear through a screen to diagnose an ear infection, or swab a throat for strep," Bracho-Sanchez said.traveling to families' homesBoston Medical Center created a"mobile clinic" with a donated ambulance that delivers health care across Boston.

However, not every zip code has access to mobile clinics, leaving some children without care. Pediatricians urge these families to seek care when appropriate.Although adults with chronic diseases should avoid hospitals when possible, families should be reassured that extensive measures are being taken to prevent the spread of infection.

Quick. What are we going to do hide the huge decrease in SIDS deaths from delayed infant vaxxes during this time?!?!? Get them back in there quick!

You think? Plus your weakening their immune systems

Well gee, this pan[DEM]ic is also going to have consequences to people's immune systems that should have never been locked down to begin with.

racer_chick_24 About vaccines, I had no problem with them except when the narrative started going too far on promoting the covid one as the one and only solution possible to go backToNormal . Ppl don't like to be told what to do.

Propaganda

How about the lack of a glove on the doctors hand as he touches the needle he's about to inject into the child ?

Full of poisons!!! Oh and DISINFECTANTS!!!! Try harder ABC!!

No!!!!!!!!!! That is pure propaganda!!!!!

That’s bull! More scare tactics?!! Sorry the truth is known!!! Thanks NSA!!!

Put some gloves on, you swine

Very sad China 🇨🇳?

Imagine if people paid this much attention to the death toll from abortion. Over 800,000 every year in America alone.

OMG ... Jakim prawem bez rękawiczek , palec dotyka igły gdzie wprowadzone zostaną bakterie przy zastrzyku.

BULLSHIT DONT TRUST FAKE NEWS WHILE THEY IGNORE THIS Unsealed FBI notes reveal the intent of the FBI’s 1/24/17 interview of Flynn: “What is our goal? Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute [Flynn] or get him fired?” FBI Notes confirm it was all a pretext.

they are making the peoples immunities go down, People need the sun to help build those back up. No child has missed there doctors appt that is a lie, You mean house arrest and having our constitutional rights taken, Thank goodness for Barr and lawyers,

Who administers shots without gloves while touching the needle?...other than junkies...

No one needs vaccines the kids are without vaccines.

If you get hurt by vaccines you can sue the federal government not the manufacturer here is the prove

Doctors need to bring back housecalls.

الموقرة ملكة بريطانيا العظمى .... يظهر خلفها في الصوره البيانو الذهبي الذي تم سرقته من قصر الرئيس الراحل صدام_حسين

FEEEEEEAAAAARRRRRR!!!!!!!!

doctors arent seeing any patients in their office... at least not here in Delaware . they are doing 'virtual visits,, which is a bunch of shit.. I was in severe pain and the doc wouldn't even see me.

Thanks democrats..... You big patriots you..... .....See ya on November 3rd. 😘

Just so we're clear, the stock photo here shows a 'doctor' giving a vaccine...without gloves, touching the needle. You NEVER touch a needle like that it would contaminate it and also puts you at extremely high risk to be accidentally stuck. You didn't pay for that photo did you?

ABC - BIG QUESTION - Why are parents allowed to NOT immunize there kids? They place everyone around at risk, of big time disease. But we are FORCED to wear a mask, not allowed to work, can't visit family. PLEASE explain

Another hidden consequence of the focus on corona virus and the relative ignoring of other health issues.

And just how the hell are parents to do this when every hospital has canceled 'elective' procedures such as medical checkups because you fear mongering dipshits got everyone to believe that MILLIONS would be dead by now

Vaccines and other death prevention treatments are to blame for the overpopulation problem. Death is inevitable and y'all need to stop trying to alter nature.

Are GP practices still open?

Dr clinics fall under “essentials” yet my appointment to renew a Flu jab due soon was postponed. Doc said vaccination will be done after the circuitbreaker lockdown this June. Date & time: TBA & TBC. Is Singapore running low on Influenza vaccines?!💉StayHome SupplyChain

Don’t miss those vaccines. Big pharma is losing billions.

There are articles saying that antibody tests are showing too many false positives. No, they're all positive. The media doesn't want ppl to know the truth about the NON-lethality of COVID. We've all had it long before the lockdown and recovered asymptomatically MyBodyCuredItself

Yeah keep those appointments and keep your kids on poison. How brilliant. Morons.

Alt Hdln: Some parents are idiots.
