    Announcing the 2017 Advanced Pediatrics FluFest

     

    Advanced Pediatrics is very pleased and excited to announce its annual Flu Fest, the 2017 round!

    As many of you know it is recommended that all people 6 months of age and older be immunized against influenza once a year.

    About 1/3 of all colds and flus in the winter are caused by the influenza virus, so getting immunized against the influenza virus gets rid of about 1/3 of all your colds and flus for that year.

    Our influenza vaccine Flu Fest will be in on the first Saturday of October and November, well before any influenza viruses arrive in Ohio, or even the US.

    All influenza vaccines in the US, this year, will be the shot form, there is no nasal form this year.  Our office is proud to offer only preservative-free flu shots, nearly all drug stores flu shots have preservatives in them.

    FLU FEST 2017 WILL BE OCTOBER 7 AND NOVEMBER 4

    SIGN UP NOW WHILE SLOTS ARE STILL OPEN

    Mitchell’s Ice Cream is once again generously making a scoop available to all kids who get a shot, right here!
