As of 5/19/22 COVID-19 booster vaccines are now being recommended for children ages 5-11. This booster dose should be given at least 5 months after the last dose in the primary series (2nd dose for most children and 3rd dose for immunocompromised children). If you are interested in getting your child this vaccine, please call our office and we'll be happy to get it scheduled!
FORMULA SHORTAGE
In part due to the formula recall in February, there has been a nationwide shortage of formula. Here is a helpful link in case you are having a hard time trying to find your baby's formula. It's never recommended to make your own formula or to water down formula, as these could be very harmful to your baby. Please call your home office to see if we have any samples of the formula you are using, and don't hesitate to call with any other questions regarding the shortage.
All 5 of our Pediatricenter offices are now able to provide the Pfizer COVID 19 vaccine to patients 5 years of age and older. Please call the office of your choice during business hours and follow the instructions on the message to leave your child's name, date of birth, and a good call back number. We will call you back in the order your call was received to set up an appointment to get your child vaccinated!
