Mom, Dad and Lucia are doing well!

The East Bay Pediatrics team is growing! As of February 2023, Sara McDole PA-C has joined us! Read her bio *here*.  We are delighted to have her as part of our team!

Moderna (in 2 doses) and Pfizer (in 3 doses) have been approved for usage in 6-month olds to 4-year olds! Both vaccines were studied in thousands of children, some of whom had already been previously infected with COVID-19. Side effects were mild (redness at the site, irritability, fever). There were no cases of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart) in the children who received the vaccine. Given the lower dosing of these vaccines, it is very unlikely. The vaccines not only reduce the rate of COVID-19 infection, they also, and perhaps more importantly, significantly, decrease the risk of serious complications from COVID-19. They also help reduce the spread in schools, daycares, and from young children to the vulnerable grandparent-aged population.

    • While both vaccines were very effective, if you are looking to have your child fully vaccinated ASAP, that goal will be achieved more quickly using the Moderna Vaccine.
    • Moderna is most effective starting 14 days after dose #2; Pfizer is most effective starting 7 days after dose #3.
    • If your child has had COVID-19 in the last 1-2 months, it is reasonable to delay the vaccine for a few weeks/month given their immunity from recent infection.
    • Our vaccines have been ordered, and we are checking our tracking information daily.
    • The vaccine will be given by appointment only. We will let you know when we have clinics/appointments ASAP!

Children ages 5 through 11 may now get a booster dose of Pfizer-BioNTech's COVID-19 vaccine at least five months after their primary series.

  • "The entire office staff has been kind any time we’ve needed forms filled out for sports and gotten us in for unexpected illnesses."

  • "Love East Bay Pediatrics of Barrington! My son is a wrestler and had a thumb injury right before a big match mid-season. I called at 4:55 on a Friday and they said come on in!! They stayed open and waited for my son! He was sent for an x-Ray that night and we got a call the next morning thankfully that it was fine just needed to rest for a couple of days! Dr. Feretti told us where to go for a brace and even called over to make sure the medical supply had it in stock!! My son was back in business within a few days and was able to wrestle his match!! I can't say enough good things!!! They are the kind of doctors that truly care about their patients! They just hired a new doctor who's super bubbly and friendly, Dr. Raufi. She's actually the daughter of one of the other doctors in the practice. Love seeing a mother-daughter team!! They have 3 docs, Dr. Raufi (she's the newest), Dr. Grenander (her mom), and Dr. Ferretti (male doc) They are all amazing!!!"
