2026-2027 flu shots are now available for all of our patients. No appointment necessary.
American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends:
* All children 6 months and older: receive a flu vaccine every year, unless they have a medical contraindication.
* Children 6 months–8 years: may need 2 doses, at least 4 weeks apart, if this is their first flu vaccination, they have previously received only 1 dose, or their vaccination history is unknown.
* Children who have previously received ≥2 flu vaccine doses: generally need 1 dose for the season.
* Timing: Vaccinate as soon as vaccine is available; for children needing 2 doses, starting early is particularly important so both can be completed by the end of October.
