Flu Update: Vaccine Stock


 Current influenza vaccine stock:

We have in stock the regular flu shot (Fluzone) and the intranasal vaccine (Flumist) but the vaccine stock is rapidly declining as people rush in for their immunizations. We have private vaccine (insurance) and public vaccine (Vaccine for Children program through the state). If you do not have insurance, you will be able to get the public vaccine for an administration fee of $14.50.

H1N1 flu vaccine (provided by the CDC) is $20.00 and may be charged to your child's insurance. Non-patient's can pay privately and charge it to their own insurance. 

Flumist cannot be administered to children under 24 months of age or patients with asthma, recent wheezing, immunity problems or on long-term aspirin therapy.

We strongly encourage parents with infants under 6 months of age and siblings of under 6 month infants to get the flu vaccine in order to protect the young infant.

Please feel free to call our office for any updates or questions.

For more information on the H1N1 vaccine (due in October) please visit the CDC (www.flu.gov) for latest news.
