This season's 2020-2021 Influenza Vaccine has arrived!
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, getting vaccinated against influenza is even more important this year. It's best to receive your flu vaccine prior to flu viruses spreading in the community, since it takes about two weeks after vaccination for your body to develop antibodies that provide protection against flu. This year it's recommended everyone receive an influenza vaccine by the end of October.
In order to vaccinate as many of our patients/familes as quickly as possible, in an efficient and effectively COVID-19 distanced way, AAC is offering Influenza Vaccine Clinics with preservative free injectable vaccine (FluLaval IIV4) and Flumist nasal spray options on the following dates:
*Additional dates my be added - and will be updated here once available.
Patients, parents, and caregivers may be immunized at our clinic. When you call for your time slot, please let us know who will receive the vaccine.
Pre- Register at https://aacp.mymedaccess.com/public-forms. (There is no need to log in.) At the top left Click Flu Clinic Registration, complete the form, and submit.
If your child is due for an annual wellness or medication check appointment, now is a good time to schedule these visits. Flu vaccines can be given during your appointment.
