Welcome!
We have received a small amount of H1N1 vaccine. We are starting to immunize high-risk groups including patients that are immunosuppressed and younger children from 6 mos to 48 months of age. We are also starting to immunize higher risk patients with asthma that are on controller medications
(such as Flovent, Pulmicort or Asmanex). If your child meets any of the above criteria, please call our office
to schedule an appointment for the H1N1 vaccine.
Once we receive more H1N1 vaccine, we will be able to start to immunize all healthy children 6 mos and older. Please check back on our website, www.patriotpediatrics.com as we will update this as soon as we get more information.
We are currently completely out of seasonal injectable flu vaccine for children over age 3.
We are expecting more seasonal flu vaccine to arrive in late November. Please refer back to this website for more information regarding future clinics.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this trying time.
