Thimerosal Free
Pediatric Injectable Flu
Vaccine is available at
all offices!
Town and
Country Pediatrics has
just received a partial
shipment of thimerosal
free injectable flu
vaccine for children
ages 6-35 months. This
vaccine will be offered
to all current Town and
Country patients.
If your
child is allergic to
eggs, he/she should not
receive flu vaccine.
If this
is the first time your
child will be receiving
flu vaccine then he/she
should receive 2 doses
one month apart.
If your
child has never eaten
eggs, he/she must wait
in the office after the
flu vaccine is
administered for 20
minutes- please allow
for this time while
scheduling your
appointments.
As
always, Flu Mist nasal
vaccine (always
thimerosal free)
is available (equally if
not more effective than
injectable) for our
healthy patients ages 5
and older.
A limited
amount of thimerosal
free injectable flu
vaccine is now available
for children ages 3 and
older.
Please
visit our announcement
section of the website
for a form that must be
completed prior to your
child’s injection.
