Flu season is on its way, and now is a good time to plan ahead.
Annual flu vaccination is recommended for most people ages 6 months and older, ideally by the end of October. Adults 65 and older should receive one of the preferentially recommended flu vaccines when available.

Flu vaccines are available at pharmacies throughout North County. Most accept walk-ins or same-day appointments, so booking is usually quick. Contact your local pharmacy to find a time that works for you.

Have questions about which vaccine is right for you? Talk with your doctor at your next visit.

Healthy habits start early.

This Child Health Day, we're reminding parents that regular well-child visits are an important part of supporting their child's health as they grow. These visits give your doctor an opportunity to track growth and development, discuss any concerns, and make sure recommended vaccinations are up to date.

Not sure when your child is due for their next visit? Give our office a call. We're here to help keep your family healthy at every stage.

Call (760) 942-0118 to learn more.

Today is World Heart Day, a reminder to give one of your hardest-working organs a little extra attention. ❤️

Knowing your blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, and other risk factors can help you and your physician better understand your cardiovascular health. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, quality sleep, and avoiding to***co can also play an important role in supporting your heart.

Talk with your physician about your individual risk factors and the preventive screenings recommended for you.
