DUE TO SHORTAGE OF THE PRESERVATIVE-FREE VACCINE WHICH RESULTED IN A DELAY IN SHIPPING WE ARE CANCELLING THE FLU CLINIC ON 11/8/2014. WE SHOULD HAVE THE VACCINE BY 11/24/2014.  

PLEASE CALL OFFICE TO RESCHEDULE YOUR APPOINTMENT.

Preservative-free pediatric flu shots will be available to patients of Healthy Kids Pediatrics 6 months and older by appointment during normal business hours.  Just call the office at 972-294-0808 to schedule your flu shot.

Please note: Children 6 months and older who have never had a flu shot may require 2 shots and will need to schedule an appointment for both days. If your child has an appointment scheduled the flu shot may be given at the appointment.

Talk to your doctor if your child has any severe (life-threatening) allergies. Allergic reactions to influenza are rare.

• Influenza vaccine virus is grown in eggs. People with a severe  egg allergy should not get the vaccine.
• A severe allergy to any vaccine component is also a reason to not get the vaccine.
• If your child has had a severe reaction after a previous dose of influenza vaccine, tell your doctor.
