We are pleased to announce that we have received a shipment of H1N1 vaccine. We are scheduling a Flu Clinic for Sunday, November 22. PLEASE DO NOT call the office to schedule an appointment. Appointments may be made online at kidsfirstpeds@yahoo.com

Please indicate the names of your children and your home or cell phone number. Please indicate the time you would like to come in: 9AM-10 AM
10 AM-11AM
11 AM-12 PM

We have both Flumist and injectable vaccine available. Children age 2 and older may receive Flumist unless they are on a controller asthma medicine, in which case they should receive injectable. If your child has previously received Flumist for seasonal flu, they may also receive Flumist for H1N1 as long as there has been 1 month between doses.

We strongly recommend all children ages 6 months to 18 years of age receive H1N1 vaccine.
We believe the vaccine is safe and effective, and are giving it to all our staff, as well as our own children. If you would like more information regarding the vaccine, please go to www.cdc.gov for more information.
