People With Down Syndrome Have Come A Long Way

May 3, 2021 Pregnancy can be one of the most exciting times of a woman’s life. It can also be one of the scariest and most unexpected times. Unexpected, however, doesn’t have to mean bad. Approximately 1 in 700 live births involves a baby with a Down syndrome diagnosis the most common chromosomal disorder meaning roughly 6,000 children are born with Down syndrome per year in the United States. While these numbers aren’t hidden, each prenatal chromosomal diagnosis likely feels quite shocking to the parents receiving the results. In recent years, however, leaps and bounds have been made medically and culturally to ensure that parents of babies with Down syndrome, and their doctors, are equipped with all the necessary tools to give each baby with a Down syndrome diagnosis a beautiful and fulfilling life and to give that child’s family a boost to their happiness and fulfillment.

Salvana The United States Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recently released an infographic outlining what activities could be done by vaccinated persons compared with non-vaccinated persons. One of the most exciting facts from this document is that vaccinated persons can now remove their masks outdoors, even when gathering together with other people. A mask is still recommended in crowded outdoor events as well as indoors. After more than a year of wearing masks, an official US government advisory saying that it is okay to remove your mask in certain circumstances is an incredibly positive sign. Considering that the US has yet to fully control its pandemic, this move shows the increasing confidence that physicians and public health experts have in the ability of vaccines to protect us all.
