Still Need a Flu Vaccine?

Posted on: 11/01/2011

Our flu clinics were a great success: we began September 7th and continued through October 30th. Thank you to all of those who helped make these clinics successful with the timely vaccination of your children!

For those of you that may have missed one of these clinics, product is still currently available. Your child may receive a flu vaccine at their scheduled appointment or you may bring your child in without an appointment to one of our booster clinics. Booster Clinics are scheduled 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.

There are no Saturday flu clinics available.

Please respect the scheduled clinic time allowance. Be prepared to wait both at scheduled visits and at walk-in clinics.

Help avoid delays:

  • Educate yourself and your family by visiting the CDC website - http://www.cdc.gov/flu/ - for information regarding the 2011-2012 flu season recommendations.
  • Bring your current insurance information.
  • Read the Vaccine Information Sheet.  Click here for Flu Vaccine Information Statement (VIS)
  • Print, complete and bring with you the Influenza Screening Form/Advance Beneficiary Notice for each child you plan to have vaccinated.  Click here for Influenza Screening Form/Advanced Beneficiary Notice (ABN)
  • Flu clinics are for flu vaccines only. If you think your child may be ill or you have questions regarding the flu vaccine, please call our office to speak with a nurse. A physician will not be available at flu clinics.
  • All of our flu vaccine is preservative free. Children under the age of nine (9) years old who have never had a flu shot before will need a booster dose at least one month after the first injection.

FLU VACCINES WILL BE ADMINISTERED AND CLINICS WILL BE HELD AS LONG AS VACCINE PRODUCT IS AVAILABLE.  PLEASE CHECK THE WEBSITE FOR UPDATES, CHANGES AND/OR CANCELLATIONS.  UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION WILL ALSO BE AVAILABLE ON OUR FLU INFORMATION LINE AT 565-9030 EXT 622.
