Great news, our flu vaccines have arrived!

Given all the information from last year's flu season, we have been advised that we should not give these prior to Mid-September 2025, but we have both regular flu vaccines and the most up-to-date high dose for our patients over 65 years of age. If you do not have an appointment already scheduled with the office for Mid-September, or later please give us a call to schedule your vaccine appointment. Due to staffing issues, we are trying to primarily schedule these for Tuesday and Thursdays, but just give us a call, and we can work something out to fit everyone's schedule.
