The 2025-2026 flu shot season is here!
We are now scheduling appointments for influenza vaccine clinics that will be starting the week of September 23rd, and continuing into the fall and early winter. Unfortunately, appointments cannot be made online, so please call the office at 216-382-3800 (option 2) to schedule. We are happy to vaccinate parents also (as long as they have been seen previously in the UH system)!
If your child is overdue for a well visit, now is a great time to schedule -- we can administer the flu shot at any well visit and at most ill visits. Parents and siblings can be vaccinated at these visits too! Please let the receptionists know when you call to schedule whether you would like to add on any siblings or parents for vaccination.
Lastly, we are not currently scheduling appointments for the 2025-2026 Covid vaccine. We plan to have the vaccine available this fall and winter, but there are several moving parts that need to align before we can begin administering the vaccine. Our plan is to follow the data-based recommendations put forth by the American Academy of Pediatrics -- which reccommends Covid vaccine for all children between 6 and 23 months old, all children with medical conditions that put them at high risk for severe Covid illness, and for anybody else who desires their child to be protected from Covid. It is unclear if insurers will pay for this year's Covid vaccine, but it is likely that most will. Please check with your individual insurance company to be sure.
We are looking forward to seeing you soon!
