The flu is a contagious respiratory illness that is caused by the influenza virus. The severity of the illness can range from mild to severe, depending on the infected individual. Young children, older people, and people with other illnesses are at greatest risk because they have weaker immune systems. The best way to prevent it is by getting vaccinated every year.
The flu shot is a vaccine available every year that lowers your chances of getting the seasonal flu. Even if you received a flu shot in the previous years, it is important to get the current shot because it is made to provide protection against the most common flu viruses for that year.
Protect the ones you love against the Flu

Tips for a great Telehealth visit :
- Be sure to log on 10 minutes prior to your appointment time.
- Have your child with you in a well lit room that is quiet and free of as many distractions as possible. If we see your other children or pets that’s okay, we enjoy seeing everyone to say Hi!
- Things to have available, if possible: A thermometer, a flash light, a scale, and the name and location of your pharmacy.
- It’s helpful to have a list of questions or concerns written down to ask.
Don’t be nervous to ask questions and to have your child do the same. We would love to see your child’s favorite toy or meet their pet. These things may help your child feel more comfortable with the visit.
We understand telehealth is a new experience that you may not have used before. We want you to know that we will do everything we can to ensure your child receives the best care possible! We are here to support and guide you through any challenges.
