We are pleased to be offering both the nasal and injectable flu vaccine to our patients again this year.

The flu vaccine this year does contain the H1N1 strain, so your child will not need to get an additional vaccine to protect against H1N1. Children 6 months to less than 2 years of age will have to get the flu shot. If your child has chronic medical disease, asthma, congenital heart disease, immunodeficiency or rheumatologic disease, they will get the flu shot. If your child has wheezed or used albuterol in the past 12 months, they will get the flu shot. Healthy children 2 years and older can get the nasal flu vaccine. If you have questions or concerns, please call the office.
