Let's Talk About Flu Season

Ah, flu shots. They’re a thing that kids (and some grownups) dread but they’re really important. Violet was DREADING hers last month but ended up being such a rock star through it! (And I just learned yesterday that she wrote a story at school about it!) For this week’s Facebook Live I chatted with pediatrician Dr. Len Friedland and Jennifer Miller about the dangers of flu and how you can protect your family during flu season. I learned so much during this broadcast! Per usual, links are below the broadcast window.
