This week, Healio provided live coverage of the Pediatric Academic Societies Meeting, an annual collaboration between the AAP, Academic Pediatrics Association, American Pediatric Society and the Society for Pediatric Research.

Program Chair Judith Shaw, EdD, MPH, RN, FAAP, a professor of general pediatrics at University of Vermont Larner College of Medicine, told Healio that the conference highlights a broad issue of interest across the full spectrum of pediatric research, science and education.

At this years meeting, researchers reported new data that showed adherence to the immunization schedule for children improved in the United States from 2011 to 2020, but rates differed by socioeconomic status.

Findings from another study found that most children who present to the ED with anaphylaxis can be discharged following a period ranging from 5 minutes to 2 hours, depending on their symptoms.
