    Photo by Mathurin NAPOLY / matnapo on Unsplash Opposition to vaccines by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as well as the governor and surgeon general for the state of Florida, is striking fear in the hearts of public health experts and those who have vulnerable children. HealthCetera Correspondent and school nurse Robin Cogan, RN, MS, FAAN, spoke with Teri Mills, RN, MS, CNE, and Donna Gaffney, RN, PhD, FAAN, two nurses who are using their roles and power as grandparents to remind people of what life—and death—was like for children before we had vaccines. They talk about Grandparents For Vaccines, an initiative that seeks to harness grandparent knowledge and experience with prior epidemics like polio and measles to discuss the life-saving value of today’s vaccines for their grandchildren and other children.

    Photo by David Kennedy on Unsplash Cell phones in schools has been a controversial topic, with New York State recently banning students’ use of smartphones and other internet-enabled personal devices, including smartwatches, while in school. The ban is required to begin in the 2025-2026 school year and applies during class, lunch, study hall, and hallways and is required for both public and charter schools in the state. Is this a good idea? HealthCetera host Dr. Diana Mason, RN, talked with Dr. Sunny Hallowell, a pediatric nurse practitioner and Associate Professor at Villanova University's College of Nursing about smart devices in schools.
