What is the best way to protect my family from the Flu?

Who can receive the Flu Vaccine? 
Parkside is pleased to be able to provide the flu vaccine to:
  • ALL patients 6 months and older
  • ALL family members and caregivers (babysitters, grandparents, etc.)
The following individuals should not receive any influenza vaccine:
  • People who have a severe allergy to chicken eggs
  • People who have had a severe reaction to an influenza vaccination
  • Children less than 6 months of age (influenza vaccine is not approved for this age group), and
  • People who have a moderate-to-severe illness with a fever (they should wait until they recover to get vaccinated.)
When can we get the Flu Vaccine?
  • We have set up special FLU CLINICS for those who do not have a scheduled well or sick visit. (please call for appointments)
  • Anyone (patients and family members) can receive the Flu vaccine during all regularly scheduled appointments (well child checks and sick visits).
What form of the vaccine will be available?
NASAL MIST
The nasal mist is a fast acting easy dosing option for healthy kids and adults ages 2-49 years old.
INJECTION
The injection is ideal for those unable to receive the nasal mist. The injection is recommended for those who:
  • are under 2 years of age or are over 49 years of age
  • have a history of asthma or reactive airway disease or have had one or more wheezing episodes in the last year
  • have a history of medical conditions including: heart or lung disease, metabolic disease (including diabetes), kidney dysfunction, hemoglobinopathy such as sickle cell disease
  • are pregnant or suspect that you may be pregnant
Will Parkside file my insurance? How much is the Flu vaccine?
  • We will file insurance for payment of the flu vaccine and administration of the vaccine for all of our patients only. Please be aware that flu vaccine and administration may NOT be covered services under your insurance plan, or they are services that may be applied to your deductible or coinsurance, and it is ultimately your financial responsibility.
  • Parents or other caretakers who wish to get vaccinated may do so in our office but we are unable to file insurance for the parent flu vaccine. The cost is $30.

 

 
Contact us today about a MOBILE Flu Vaccine Clinic.  These clinics are available on a first come first serve basis.  We will bring everything you need for an onsite flu clinic - even the Lollipops!  All you need to do is email info@parksidepediatrics.com and someone will be with you within 2 business days to set up your clinic.
