The seasonal Influenza vaccine has arrived and we are already administering it. The vaccine is indicated for all children after 6 months of age; at our office we also have vaccine available for parents and other family members.

We encourage patients with chronic health conditions, such as asthma, to get immunized as soon as possible.

Call for an appointment: 733-5437.

The new Influenza A H1N1 vaccine is not ready for distribution yet. When it becomes available we’ll announce it in this Newsletter section. We anticipate distribution by the end of the year. According to CDC news, the vaccine is going to be offered at schools and other institutions, and we’ll have it available at our office as well.
