We are pleased to announce our supply of flu vaccines is now starting to arrive. It is recommended for everyone 6 months of age and older. It is also recommended that children ages 6 months through 8 years who are receiving the flu vaccine for the first time receive a second booster dose a minimum of 4 weeks apart. We are sorry to report that the flu mist is not available this year.

We offer flu vaccines for convenience to all our parents, other family members and babysitters too. For adults it is offered on a fee-for-service basis and will not be submitted to your insurance company.

We have flexible flu clinic hours including evenings and weekends to accommodate school and work schedules. You can either call your child’s doctor’s office to schedule or schedule your appointment through the portal!

We would like our patients to know that we have lactation consultants in our office almost every day of the year. These services are provided by Mrs.’s Thistle, Bird, and Brodie. They are all credentialed by I.B.C.L.C. Because these women are nurse practitioners they can also do a complete physical examination of your infant.

For your friends and neighbors Mrs.’s Thistle and Bird offer private consultations. For more information please go to their website at thistlebirdlactation.com.
