It’s also a great time to stop in and
have your child vaccinated for flu, as the season is about to ramp up and
typically lasts through March. Children spend much of the winter season sharing
close quarters in classrooms. It’s important to be vaccinated to prevent the
spread of diseases in our community.

Bring your insurance card for faster
service. Those without insurance are still eligible to receive vaccination at a
discounted rate, so don’t let cost be a barrier. Our staff will work with your
family to make sure your children have the coverage they need this flu season
and school year.
