The weather is cooling, the leaves are turning – and that means flu season is on the way! One of the best ways to protect your family is to follow the CDC’s recommendation: everyone 6 months and older should get an influenza vaccine every year.
We give flu shots every morning and every afternoon at both office locations. These must be booked ahead of time, by appointment only — there are a limited number of slots that we can fill in order to keep up with the other patients that are in the office.
To make it easier for you to bring your family in for vaccinations, we are opening up several dates with extra staffing to provide flu shot appointments every 5 minutes.
At Roswell we have added extra flu shot appointments all afternoon on Thursday, October 20 and Thursday, October 27th. We also have an evening flu clinic on Tuesday, October 25th beginning at 6pm.
At Windward we have added extra flu shot appointment times all day on Monday, October 24th continuing into the early evening.
This year, the only flu vaccines we are offering are the traditional shots, by injection. These are the “quadrivalent” versions that protect against 4 strains of flu, the maximum available. We’re happy to offer these vaccines to our patients and their parents. For parents, we can file for payment from your insurance company (make sure your insurance does not insist that you visit your own PCP for vaccines), or you can pay a cash price of $35 for the flu vaccine.
Please call soon to book your appointment!
