Flu shot update
We currently have supplies of the flu vaccine for children aged 3 years and older who are covered under private insurance. We are still waiting for flu vaccine for children under age 3 and those covered by government insurance. We expect these vaccines to become available in the next 2 weeks. We also have a supply of Flumist, which is a nasal vaccine that can be given to children aged 2 years and older who have no history of asthma. The CDC is recommending that all children from 6 months to 18 years be vaccinated against the flu. The good news this year is that there is only one flu vaccine! To schedule an appointment for a flu vaccine, please call our office. Unlike in previous years, the vaccine will be first-come, first-served this year (those children with asthma and other chronic illnesses will be given priority, however).
