FLU INFORMATION
UPDATED 10/05/2011
Flu Shots and FluMist are here!
We will be offering Flu Shots and FluMist to you and your children during a walk-in clinic on Tuesday's through Friday's from 10:00am to 4:45pm (we'll still be closed for lunch between 1 and 2pm daily). No need to call or schedule an appointment, unless your child is sick or between the ages of 6 months to 23 months, those patient's will need to be seen by a provider. FluMist is recommended for healthy individuals with NO chronic illnesses between the ages of 2 years through 49 years.
The cost for parents and anyone uninsured will be $25.00.
FluMist is not for anyone with asthma, taking daily aspirin between the ages of 2 through 17 years, experienced Guillain-Barre within 6 weeks of receiving a previous flu vaccine, has a weakened immune system or will be in close contact with someone who is severely immunocompromised within 7 days of receiving the vaccine. If you have any of the above, we recommend the flu shot.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
