2007 FLU VACCINE UPDATE

We are pleased to inform you that our flu vaccine has arrived. Our recommendation is that anyone wanting to avoid the flu should receive the flu vaccine. This is especially true for all children with chronic diseases, and children under age 3.

We will be holding flu vaccine clinics on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons.

Children receiving the flu vaccine for the first time need a booster shot one month after the first vaccine is given. Children with known egg allergy should not receive the flu vaccine. No co-payment is required for this visit. Please call our office at 508-697-8116 and we will be happy to book an appointment for your child. Best wishes for a flu-free winter!
