Flu Boosters

Posted on: 11/01/2011

If your child received a first-time flu vaccine this year, a booster dose is needed.  Children under the age of 9 years who have never had a flu vaccine before require a booster dose at least 28 days after the first injection.  Flu boosters are available at your scheduled appointment(s).

Starting November 1st, flu boosters will be available without an appointment Monday through Thursday evening from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., and Sunday morning from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 Noon.

Please respect the clinic time allowance.
