We now have flu vaccine in for the 2010-2011 season.
There is a choice between the injection (Fluzone) and intranasal (Flumist) methods.
The American Academy Pediatrics is now recommending flu vaccination as routine preventative care at the age of 6 months and older due to the possibility of serious problems or death if the flu is contracted.
The injection is a killed vaccine and can be given down to the age of 6 months.
We also have an injectable preservative free (thimerosal free) vaccine (Fluzone) for the appropriate age groups.
The nasal spray is the Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine (LAIV) Flumist and is indicated from age 2 years old and older without a history of wheezing.
It is also indicated for healthy people up to the age of 49 years who are not pregnant.
Either preparation is recommended to be given as 2 doses 1 month apart if it is the first season getting the vaccine and younger than 9 years old. Only 1 dose is needed yearly after the initial vaccination.
Your health care provider will be able to answer other questions you might have regarding this important vaccine.
Parents: It would also be beneficial for you to receive the flu vaccine to prevent you getting ill from influenza. We offer the injection only for a fee of $22.00 on a cash basis only. We do not bill insurance. We hope this will be a convenience for you.
