Swine Flu-
*** (REVISED 12/22). We now have all types of Flu vaccine (Seasonal and H1N1) for all ages and types of patients. The supply of injectable Flu for children over 3 is limited and will probably go soon. We are especially well stocked with nasal flu (live) vaccines of all types. Please call to set up your appointment (see below). We are following the recommendations for the CDC in recommending these two vaccines to all children over 6 months of age. Children with asthma or on steroids cannot receive the live vaccine.
Remember that all children under age 9 receiving the H1N1 vaccine need to get TWO doses. We are following new recommendations and offering the 2nd dose as short as two weeks after the first.
For more information about the H1N1 flu and for specific information about the vaccines please refer to the websites below.
