Other children’s health stories we’ve been reading:

• A recent survey shows that more people are contacting their doctors online. KevinMD.com and Booster Shots discuss how health care professionals and patients can maintain a professional relationship online and ask: How much contact is too much?
• Even though the HPV vaccine Gardasil is recommended by the CDC and the AAP, many parents and physicians are not looking to vaccinate preteen girls. Have you or will you vaccinate your daughter?
• A new study says children with epilepsy should undergo cognitive testing because they’re at a higher risk for cognitive problems. Check out a story we did earlier this summer about a 9-year-old girl with epilepsy.
• Massachusetts is asking dentists, paramedics and pharmacists to help administer vaccines for both the seasonal flu and H1N1. Will this make it more likely that you’ll get them?
