Don’t let the flu stop you!
You’ve come this far keeping everyone healthy and don’t want the flu to be the thing that brings your family down. Activities like camp, family reunions and back to school mean we’re getting together for good times. Flu vaccination protects kids and teens so they’re less likely to have serious illness.
We can schedule a time for your child’s flu vaccination, or they can get the vaccine at their next visit. Please call the office today to make an appointment.
