This means that our phones will be on from 8am-11am, and during that time we will only be scheduling urgent/same day sick appointments. Please wait on non-urgent calls until tomorrow, Tuesday, October 14th at 8am when normal business hours resume. Our phone nurse will also be available from 8am to 11am today for urgent advice.

Needham Pediatrics Patients and Families,

We now have Flu clinics on weekdays in September and October and will continue to add clinics.

💉You may schedule your child(ren)’s vaccine(s) online through the MyChart portal. If you are scheduling siblings and there are no back to appointments-it is okay to schedule for different times on the same day and bring them all in at one of the scheduled times. Please add a note with the scheduled time you will bring in all your children in the comments section when scheduling.

If your child has a well visit or med check scheduled in the coming months they will be able to receive their Flu vaccine at this visit (there is no need to schedule a separate appointment). You can also bring siblings to these scheduled well visits and med check appointments to receive a Flu vaccine. Please let the front desk know at check-in and they will add the siblings to the schedule.

😃We want to offer the vaccine to as many patients as possible. We ask that you please arrive at your scheduled appointment time.

Thank you!

Last month, we had the pleasure of celebrating the retirement of a beloved veteran of Needham Pediatrics. Evelyn worked as a nurse at Needham Pediatrics for 38 years! Throughout her career, Evelyn has helped countless patients and families, assisted every provider who has ever worked here(!), and consistently brought a loving and fun demeanor to work each day. Evelyn will be dearly missed and we are incredibly grateful we had the opportunity to know and work with someone as wonderful as her. We wish you all the best, Evelyn! 💙
