This means no rough - housing; they aren't
recommended for households with children, as kids can be unintentionally rough, which can result in an overwhelmed, snappy toy poodle.
Influenza remains a major health problem in the United States, resulting each year in an estimated 36,000 deaths and 200,000 hospitalizations.4 Those who have been shown to be at high risk
for the complications of influenza infection are
children 6 to 23 months of age; healthy persons 65 years of age or older; adults and
children with chronic diseases, including asthma, heart and lung disease, and diabetes; residents of nursing homes and other long - term care facilities; and pregnant women.4 It is
for this reason that the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has
recommended that these groups, together
with health care workers and others
with direct patient - care responsibilities, should be given priority
for influenza vaccination this season in the face of the current shortage.1 Other high - priority groups include
children and teenagers 6 months to 18 years of age whose underlying medical condition requires the daily use of aspirin and
household members and out - of - home caregivers of infants less than 6 months old.1 Hence, in the case of vaccine shortages resulting either from the unanticipated loss of expected supplies or from the emergence of greater - than - expected global influenza activity — such as pandemic influenza, which would prompt a greater demand
for vaccination5 — the capability of extending existing vaccine supplies by using alternative routes of vaccination that would require smaller doses could have important public health implications.
While they're characteristically a kid - friendly dog, as
with every dog in our program, we do a full behavioral analysis and may
recommend certain dogs
for households with older
children or no
children.
We attempt to flag any pets that we would not
recommend with children, and we'll do our best to help you select the best pet
for your
household, however the final decision and responsibility about what pet to adopt lies
with parents.
