Flu Immunizations
ALL children, from ages 6 months to 18 years, should receive a flu immunization, unless they have a significant allergy to eggs. Although we will offer two types of flu vaccine--the traditional shots and Flumist, we have used up all of the Flumist at this time. Flu shots are approved for all individuals who are 6 months of age and older, unless they are allergic to eggs or have had a life-threatening reaction to previous influenza vaccinations. The vaccine should be given on a day when a child is well and is NOT ill with fever or wheezing. Click here for a link to the Center for Disease Control website on flu.
