Second flu shot shipment delayed...

We wanted to let you know that our first shipment of flu shots is running low, and the vaccine manufacturer has told us that the second shipment will be delayed for a couple of weeks. No worries - we will have plenty of flu shots, and will continue to vaccinate into the winter. For now, however, please schedule your child for a flu vaccine ONLY if you would like your child to receive a FluMist (nasal flu vaccine). This is approved for healthy children 2 years and up, and is actually the preferred vaccine for children over 2 in most situations. If you have already scheduled your child for a flu shot, please keep your appointment. We have shots for everyone already scheduled to receive one. If you would like your child to receive a flu shot instead of a FluMist, please check the main page of our website - we should receive our second shipment of vaccine within a few weeks, and will post it there. This delay in shipping is a national issue and is not an issue unique to Carolina Kids, so please bear with us - and thanks for your patience!
