Episode 3: RSV, Vaccines, And Febrile Seizures (feat. Dr. Maggie Gaughran)

This episode is packed with critical, up-to-the-minute information for parents! I spend the first part of the episode breaking down the latest data on the highly effective RSV vaccine and monoclonal antibody for infants and toddlers. I also share my thoughts on the updated recommendations for COVID-19 boosters in pregnant women and kids.

For the second half, pediatrician Dr. Maggie Gaughran joins me again to wrap up our talk on fevers by focusing on febrile seizures. We explain what they are, what triggers them, and, most importantly, what to do if one happens.

This is a must-listen for anyone who wants to stay on top of the latest pediatric health guidelines and feel more prepared to handle common childhood issues.
