Flu season is upon us, and it is important to remember that the flu vaccine is the best way to prevent influenza and flu-related deaths.  The pediatricians at Pediatric Associates agree with the current national recommendations that all children 6 months and older be immunized against flu.  Healthy children ages 2 years and older, without underlying medical conditions, can receive a safe, reliable, pain-free intranasal version of the flu vaccine.  This reduces immunizing to a simple sniff up the nose, instead of a shot- no more tears.  Call now as we are scheduling appointments for flu vaccines on both weekdays and weekends, for your convenience.
