Flu vaccine – yes, it’s time
Once again, Bayshore Pediatrics is offering the seasonal influenza vaccine to all patients. Bayshore Pediatrics has strongly encouraged all children 6 months and older to receive an annual influenza vaccine for the past 7 years (long before the CDC recommendations). The seasonal flu vaccine provides protection to children during a time when illness is often on the rise. We will begin influenza vaccination clinics starting as early as September 1st. 
To find more information about the seasonal flu and making an appointment, check out our website at BayshorePediatrics.com under Vaccine Resources or call our office. You will want to call our office early to get the best appointment times. Influenza vaccine clinics are on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and some Saturdays.
New for 2010-2011, the influenza vaccine for 2010-2011 includes the H1N1 vaccine. This means that a separate vaccine is not required for H1N1 this year. Special note for parents with children ages 6 months through 8 years of age that did not receive the H1N1 vaccine or are unsure if they did, these children will need two doses of flu vaccine this year.
Please call our office to speak with your pediatrician if you have questions about your child(ren) receiving the seasonal influenza vaccine.
