Dear Families, We want to keep you in the loop as we work to make the updated COVID-19 vaccine available in our office for all age groups. At this time, we are actively working on obtaining the vaccine and setting up the necessary systems to begin offering it safely and efficiently. While we will now not be able to administer COVID-19 vaccines during our large flu clinics, we plan to offer it during regular office hours. We anticipate delivery of the 12+ year old vaccine this week, but the 5-11 will not be available until mid-September. We do not have an anticipated delivery date for the 6mo to 4-year vaccine at this time. Please Note: Insurance coverage for the COVID-19 vaccine is still unclear. Some plans may not cover the cost for non-high risk patients. We encourage families to check with their insurance provider to understand potential out-of-pocket expenses. We appreciate your patience and understanding, and we will keep you informed as we make progress. As always, your child’s health is our top priority. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions—we’re here for you! Warmly, Pediatrics 5280
Flu/COVID 2025 vaccine clinic sign ups are active and ready for scheduling. Please see the attached graphics for information on dates and sign up using the QR code. Thanks!
