Kids under 9 years who have NEVER had a flu vaccine need 2 doses, a month or more apart.
Kids under 9 years who had their first flu vaccine last season only need one vaccine this year.

At the beginning of the season we will vaccinate Pediatric Partner's patients only to assure the availability to those who want it.
As the season progresses if we have extra supply we will offer to parents.

To allow the maximum number of people to be vaccinated in the clinic only influenza vaccines will be given at the flu clinics. If your child needs additional vaccines, please schedule an appointment through our front office staff.
