Our staff rocks! Thank you.
In honor of Bayshore Pediatrics Employee Appreciation week, we would like to say Thank You to our staff and let everyone know that we think they are pretty terrific. We couldn’t be the pediatric clinic serving your children in the best way possible without them. They are the kind voice you hear answer the phone, the smile you see when you come in, the caring you see feel when your child is sick, the efficiency you receive when needing a form or prescription, and warmth and compassion you see everyday.
We thank our staff for everything they do everyday!

Where in the world are the stickers?
One of the most common questions heard at Bayshore Pediatrics is “where are the stickers?” or “can I have a sticker?”. If you or your child has been here even for a few visits, you will know that children clue in very quickly to the reward of a sticker or pencil at the end of every visit, often becoming upset if mom or dad tries to leave without stopping to choose the best princess, car, or superhero sticker (or pencil for the older kids).
Since October, we have heard the children wonder “where in the world are the stickers?” and heard a common response – “I guess they aren’t giving these out anymore.” Well, rest assured we have stickers and pencils. They have simply been moved. In order to eliminate the spreading of sickness, especially when H1N1 was a great concern, we decided to move these from the front. For the most part, we now hand these out rather than having many hands going through them. They are now by the nurses station and a few are kept up front with the receptionist. We know how important stickers and pencils are for making everything better. We’ll be happy to provide the much needed Elmo, Dora, Belle, Spiderman, or Car sticker – just ask any one of us. So know that next time you’re in you don’t have to wonder “where in the world are the stickers” but can look forward to the smiles that stickers and pencils bring.

H1N1 Recall Update
It was announced yesterday that Medimunne is recalling doses of the H1N1 nasal spray due to a small decrease in antigen content required by the CDC and FDA. What this means is that the strength of immunity expected has fallen or is falling slightly below the required amount. Bayshore Pediatrics has reviewed the lot numbers attached to the H1N1 vaccine administered or scheduled to be administered. We had received the lots associated with the recall, both having administered the lots and having lots remaining. We have pulled the doses remaining and will not be administering these. For those that received the doses being recalled, there is no action to be taken. Because the vaccine is not being recalled due to safety issues, the CDC is not recommending any re-vaccination when the first doses was a recalled dose. Rather, they continue to recommend the booster dose for children 9 years and under which can be scheduled 28 days from the first dose. This second dose will boost the immunity to expected levels for continued protection against the H1N1 influenza illness.

H1N1 Vaccine Recall
It was announced today that Sanofi-Pasteur is recalling approximately 800,000 doses of the H1N1 vaccine due to a small decrease in antigen content required by the CDC and FDA. What this means is that the strength of immunity expected has fallen slightly below the required amount. Attached is the CDC statement regarding the recalls. Bayshore Pediatrics has reviewed the lot numbers attached to the H1N1 vaccine administered or scheduled to be administered. We have not and do not have the lot numbers associated with the recall. In addition, based upon a phone call to Northshore and Shorewood public health departments, they did not and do not have the lots associated with the recall.
