Flu Vaccine Available
Flu cases are on the rise. We STRONGLY encourage you to immunize your children against the flu. We offer flu vaccines at well visits, as well as other scheduled visits if a child is not too ill, in addition to nurse visits. Children must be at least six months old to receive the first vaccine, and a booster shot is needed the first year a child receives a flu vaccine.
We HIGHLY recommend the flu vaccine as the best way to prevent contracting the flu. The flu vaccine DOES NOT CAUSE the flu, but it does help reduce the likelihood of catching the flu. Medscape reports that last year in our country the flu caused 900,000 hospitalizations, and 80,000 deaths, of which 171 were children!
We have our flu vaccines, and are scheduling clinics. Please call 322-4453 during regular business hours to schedule an appointment. (These visits are strictly for the flu vaccine, and not other vaccines.) We only have injections this year as there was a production problem with the nasal spray (Flumist).
