Screening For Return To Sports and Play After Covid-19 Infection In Pediatrics: The American Academy of Pediatrics recently issued interim guidelines on returning to sports after a COVID 19 infection. They recommend pediatricians and pediatric providers clear patients with a history of COVID 19 before they resume sports, training and physical education. The guidelines are based on the potential for the COVID virus to cause inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis) that m...ay result in scarring. The scarring can cause arrhythmias (irregular heart beat). This is not common but we do not have exact data of how often this occurs as the virus is new. Going forward patients with a positive COVID 19 test will be offered an appointment for an office evaluation 10 -14 days or more after the positive test date, or 10 -14 days after the onset of symptoms. Patients will need to be fever free for 72 hours before they can be seen in the office. The provider will review screening questions and perform a physical exam. Recommendations will be made based on information gathered at the visit. We realize many children had COVID 19 before the recommendations were published and are already participating in gym or sports. We would be happy to see any patient in the office who has a history of COVID 19 infection, but especially those children over age 12. In addition, any child with complaints of chest pain, shortness of breath when playing, heart palpitations and fainting spells should have an evaluation in the office. The AAP recognizes the importance of sports and play for all children and our goal is to allow them to return safely. Please reach out with any questions. We are here to help!

Current COVID 19 vaccines are very effective and safe, and have been strongly recommend by the CDC and your doctors and nurse practitioners to help your body fight off COVID 19. We are proud to announce that all of our physicians, nurse practitioners and administrators have been or are in the process of becoming vaccinated against COVID 19. See for yourself!

Due to the limited supply of personal protective equipment, we are unable to provide a mask at this time. If you do not have a disposable mask, one can be made out of any cloth household material such as a scarf or bandana. -Also, in an effort to continue social distancing, we are only permitting one parent or guardian to attend the child’s visit. Siblings who do not have their own well visit scheduled are not permitted to attend visits during this time.
