Well-child check up visits are the perfect time to provide vaccines to children. This is especially true because immunizations are one of the most powerful tools we have to keep children healthy. But vaccines are only one of the many things that parents can do to protect their children and improve their health.

Our supplies of flu vaccine are in. We have the injectable inactivated flu vaccine and the Flumist, which is the live intranasal spray for children over 2 years without asthma. Recommendations are for all children 6 months and older to receive the vaccine. We do allow walk-in shots for patients Monday through Friday in B105 between 9 AM to 4 PM and no appointment is needed. SAVE TIME! Download our Flu Release Consent Form before you arrive and sign it (found also on our Forms page). We will be arranging days for staffing for our quick walk-up flu shot clinic in upcoming months, which are usually on Saturdays and after-school/evening hours.
September 13, 2012 — Our evening teen clinic, which will now be offered every other week, has been very popular. This is from 6-8 PM in the upstairs Satellite office where only teens are being seen. Dates and providers vary, so please contact the office to find out upcoming dates. Sports physicals for forms can be done which is a briefer physical, but your child must be up-to-date (within 2 years) of having had a regular full physical.
