Protect Your Baby from RSV with the Prenatal RSV Vaccine

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) can be severe for newborns, often leading to hospitalization. The good news? A new prenatal RSV vaccine can provide passive immunity to your baby, protecting them during their most vulnerable first months of life. If you’re pregnant or know someone who is, encourage them to talk to their OB about receiving this vaccine between 32 and 36 weeks of pregnancy. Learn how this vaccine can keep your baby safe:

Newborn Screenings: A Healthy Start for Your Baby

Newborn screenings are a crucial first step in ensuring your baby’s health. These simple tests, done shortly after birth, help detect rare but serious conditions early—often before symptoms appear. Early detection means early treatment, which can be life-saving! If you have questions about newborn screenings, check out our latest article:
