Flu Shot Clinics

Flu shot are availabe each year from early October through April. Please call our office to make an appointment to have your child's flu vaccine given.  There are two types of flu vaccinations, both of which will also contain H1N1.  The inhaled mist is for children 24 months and older without a history of wheezing or asthma.  The injectable type is for all children 6 months of age and older, and now it does NOT contain thimerisol.  The American Academy of Pediatrics and CDC recommend that all children ages 6 months to 18 years of age receive the influenza vaccine yearly.  Please check the Center for Disease Control or American Academy of Pediatrics websites for more information about influenza, H1N1 illness and vaccines at www.aap.org .  Our office simply cannot handle the influx of calls!
