Fall is the perfect time to get a Flu Vaccine!

Getting vaccinated is the best way to protect yourself, your children, and other loved ones from the flu!

Everyone should get the flu vaccine each year to update their protection.  Safe vaccines are made each year and the best time to get the flu vaccine is before the flu virus starts circulating in your community-- Get your flu vaccine by Halloween!

Get your child's flu vaccine at their (or a sibling's) next Well Child Check-up this fall or by appointment at our office.
