- Welcome Allison (Alli)
- Upper East Side Pediatrics is excited to welcome our new nurse Alli Bujnoch to our practice. Alli comes to us from Morgan Stanley Childrens' Hospital of New York Presbyterian Hospital where she was a staff nurse on the Pediatric Hematology/Oncology unit. Alli is very excited to get to know the children and families of our practice.
- Allergies:
- The mild winter and early spring have made for one tough allergy season. To minimize aggravating pollen and other allergens, close your windows, shower upon entering the house, and keep your home as clean as possible. Use over-the-counter antihistamines to help ease sneezes and itchy eyes for those of age four and up.
- Attention new parents:
- Please inquire about the Adacel (TDAP) "whooping cough" to protect you and your family.
- Gardasil the human papillomavirus vaccine (HPV) is now recommended for males and females, ages 9-26. It is a 3 dose series, given over a 6 month period. The vaccine protects against four types of HPV responsible for cervical cancer and genital warts.
