Families are keeping children safe at home by heeding warnings to stay inside during the COVID-19 pandemic. Regular appointments with a child's primary care provider are essential to a child's health -- particularly in the first two years of life, when growth and development need close monitoring
Families are keeping children safe at home by heeding warnings to stay inside during the COVID-19 pandemic. But in spite of parents' best intentions, strict adherence to home quarantine has created a new problem that puts kids at risk: missed doctor's visits.
New data shows vaccine rates are drastically declining, raising concerns that kids will be at risk for life-threatening but preventable diseases, which Costello points out are much more dangerous for children than COVID-19. "I am particularly worried about the kids who we are not currently screening for things like developmental delays, learning disabilities and even autism. For these kids, months can be precious when it comes to their long term outcomes," said Dr. Edith Bracho-Sanchez, a pediatrician at New York-Presbyterian Hospital's Broadway Practice and director of pediatric telemedicine for NYP's Ambulatory Care Network.
For certain appointments, such as those intended to follow-up on known problems, assess new medications or obtain a referral to a specialist, telehealth was recognized as a safe way to save a trip out of the home.
