🚨 INFLUENZAA A ALERT 🚨
​Over the last 24 hours alone, I have seen 8 patients test positive for Influenza A, with many requiring admission to the hospital.

​Parents, please take precautionary steps to safeguard your children and loved ones:
- ​😷 Mask up in public areas.
- 👥 Avoid crowded places where possible.
- 💉 Get your annual flu vaccine if you haven't already — prevention is always better than cure!

​⚠️ Seek treatment early if your child has a fever.
Remember, Influenza A doesn't always present with standard cough or runny nose symptoms.
It can also cause:
- ​Vomiting or diarrhea
- ​Muscle aches & body pain
- ​Marked lethargy or extreme tiredness

​Let’s work together to keep our children safe and healthy. Please share this message to remind fellow parents! ❤️

Safe to say it’s been a busy weekend! 😅
Two speaking events in two days down.

​Yesterday was all about diving deep into immunization with fellow doctors, while today was dedicated to future parents getting ready for their biggest journey yet.

​We covered all the essentials: infant nutrition, newborn care tips, and why early immunization matters so much.

Love seeing parents ask great questions and take proactive steps for their babies! 🍼❤️

It's an honor to have completed the Post Graduate Program in Pediatric Nutrition PRO! 🎓

This program, in collaboration with Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine and MedInscribe, has been a fantastic way to deepen my understanding of child nutrition.

I'm eager to use these new insights to continue supporting the health of the families I work with.

A huge thanks to everyone who supported me along the way!
