Flu Clinics 11/11 and 11/13

We will be having  drop-in flu vaccine clinics:

Tuesday, November 11th 

10:00 am to 12:00 pm and  3:00 pm to 7:00 pm

and

Thursday, November 13th 

3:00 pm to 7:00 pm

We have a very limited supply of the injectable vaccine for children under 3 years of age.

At this time the only flu vaccine we have available for children over 3 is the Flu Mist –  for patients 2 years of age and older.  This is an intra-nasal vaccine and we cannot give this to children with the any of the following health issues:

an allergy to eggs (this applies to both nasal and injectable vaccines)

history of chronic medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes or asthma

any episodes of wheezing or bronchospasm in the past 12 months

if they have received Varivax or MMR in the past 4 weeks.

child must avoid contact with persons who are severely immunocompromised for 7 days after getting the nasal spray vaccine.

If you are not sure if your child can receive this vaccine please feel free to call our office and  discuss this with your child’s pediatrician.  This clinic is for established patients of PWG only, and only while supplies last.  We are expecting more shipments of flu vaccine later this month, we will keep you posted via our website and facebook page.
