Influenza vaccinations for the 2015-2016 season are now available at Children’s Medical Center. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that a child receive the Flu vaccine as soon as the vaccine is available to them. Children < 9 years who are being vaccinated for the first time for influenza require a booster dose 1 month after the first (another good reason to start early in the season).
Both the Flumist and injectable influenza vaccine are quadravalent – meaning they protect against two A strains and two B strains. Flumist can be given to children 2 years and older.
Contraindications for Flumist Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine (LAIV).

We hope to receive the State supply by early October. Until this shipment arrives we only are able to provide Flu vaccine for private insurance patients.
