Influenza Vaccine

The flu season is approaching. Every year, we see many cases of influenza from November through springtime.

We recommend that you get your annual flu vaccine early.

Call our office to schedule an appointment. We are giving the flu vaccine to all patients over 6 months of age and parents/caregivers.

Children under 9 years of age who have not received a flu vaccine in the past will need a booster four weeks later.

This year’s vaccine includes the H1N1 vaccine. We have both the injectable flu shot and the nasal mist available.

The nasal mist flu vaccine may be given to anyone over 2 years of age who does not have a history of asthma and who is not pregnant or immunocompromised.

For more information about the flu vaccine, please see http:/www.cdc/flu/protect/keyfacts.htm
