Many of the flu shot companies are struggling to keep up with demand this year- we are left waiting (with no date yet) for the rest of our order. However we do have plenty of FluMist, the live nasal version. It is as safe and effective as the vaccine. And as the article below discusses nay even offer some protection against Covid! The FluMist is the preferred vaccine of all the Contini boys. We will have plenty for tomorrow’s flu clinic as well https://www.npr.org//could-the-live-flu-vaccine-help-you-f

Our first drive thru flu clinic is well underway and going well! After being greeted by Emily, the vaccines are taken care of by Rosita, Kim or Katarina.

Dr. Pete has several openings for physicals tomorrow. The office remains super quiet and we have taken numerous measures to keep you safe while you are there. Now is a great time to take care of the school or sports physical for next year.

As a reminder our new weekend process starts today. We have no staff in the office answering phones. If you would like your child "seen" either virtually or in person then send a portal message to either Dr Pete or Dr. Michelle by 9 am this morning. One of the doctors will then contact you about setting up an appointment time (between 9:30- 10:30) See our website for more details
