We currently have private flu vaccine in stock for all age groups, including flu mist.
Most of the state vaccine has also arrived but we have not yet received the state supply for children under 3 years of age and are not certain we will get any.
Flu Mist can be given to children who are at least 2 years of age and have no history of asthma, reactive airway disease, or wheezing and are not immunocompromised.
All of this year's flu vaccine contains H1N1 in additiona to the usual seasonal flu components. Studies have shown that children under 9 do not mount an adequate immune response to the H1N1 after only one immunization. Therefore all children under 9 years of age who did not receive at least one dose of the H1N1 vaccine last year should receive 2 doses of the flu vaccine this year. This must be spaced at least 4 weeks apart.
