This webpage provides guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), supporting continuing pediatric care during COVID-19. It describes how well-child visits should follow Bright Futures Guidelines, emphasizing in-person visits when possible. Telehealth can be used if needed, but timely in-person follow-ups are important. Pediatricians should ensure children are up to date on vaccines and screenings to prevent outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases. It also highlights the importance of monitoring social and emotional health, providing anticipatory guidance, and maintaining safety measures like masks and distancing in clinics to reduce virus spread.
