Take action to prevent influenza! The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that all children ages 6 months and older are vaccinated for influenza for the 2019-2020 season, preferably by the end of October. Influenza vaccines are not licensed for infants younger than six months, and so to protect them it is important that the people around them are vaccinated and that their mothers receive the influenza vaccine during pregnancy. Scientific studies support the benefits of flu vaccination:
The influenza vaccine…
can keep you from getting sick with influenza.
can reduce the risk of influenza-associated hospitalization and death for children and others.
can be life-saving in children. Up to 80% of pediatric deaths from influenza were in children who were not vaccinated.
has been shown to reduce severity of illness in people who catch influenza.
can protect people around you, including people who are more vulnerable, like babies, young children, and those with impaired immune systems
can be given to children with an egg allergy
At Lake Forest Pediatric Associates, we have just opened up four influenza immunization clinics along with nurse appointments. Appointments are available on a daily basis beginning on Monday, September 16, 2019.
It’s not too early for your child’s influenza immunization! Call us at 847-295-1220 now for best availability

Parents do have choices. We hope you’re never in this position, but if you ever have to go to the ER, please speak up. Make sure to ask the ER physicians to call your primary care physician (or your PCP’s office). This is especially important if your child needs to be admitted or transferred to another hospital.
And please don’t forget, parents do have a say in the provider that sees their child. And they have a choice of the facility at which their child is seen.
Speak with your child’s primary care physician if you have questions or concerns and know that we are always here for you: 847-295-1220.

Metra announced that it will replace the collapsed retaining wall on the Route 45 bridge near Libertyville starting today. Northbound Route 45 will be closed between Peterson Road and Route 137 for about a month. Read more here.
The closure is expected to cause delays on Northbound Route 45 and adjacent roadways. Click here for an interactive map of road conditions in the area. The recommended detour is to take Northbound Route 83 to Route 120.
Please plan to add some extra travel time if you have an appointment at our Lindenhurst or Vernon Hills offices.

The physicians and staff of Lake Forest Pediatric Associates, Ltd (LFPA) care about your child’s health. Protecting your child from vaccine preventable illness is one of the most important things we can do to ensure your child lives a long and healthy life. It is the recommendation of LFPA that all children should follow the vaccine schedule as published by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). LFPA will adhere to the recommended vaccine schedule of the state of Illinois’ required immunizations and will not support the use of delayed or alternate schedules.
In order to best protect your child, as well as all of our patients, LFPA will no longer accept patients whose parents do not vaccinate their children according to the recommended vaccine schedule. Patients who are behind on receiving the recommended vaccines will be given the opportunity to catch up through a timetable provided by their physician.
While we respect your right as a parent to make medical decisions for your child, those parents who do not wish to comply with the recommended vaccine schedule will be asked to seek medical care elsewhere.
We know that there is a lot of conflicting advice and misinformation regarding the necessity and safety of vaccines. The providers of LFPA are willing to discuss any questions regarding vaccines and provide resources for parents regarding the safety of vaccines and the recommended vaccine schedule.
Required vaccines:
* Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis
* Haemophilus influenza type b
* Hepatitis B
* Invasive pneumococcal disease
* Measles, Mumps, Rubella
* Meningococcal meningitis
* Polio
* Varicella
