Flu Clinic Sign-ups

OUTDOOR DRIVE THROUGH FLU CLINICS!

*We also have COVID vaccines - please call the office to schedule*

FLU INFO

At East Bay Pediatrics, we highly recommend all of our patients 6 months and older receive the influenza vaccine annually.

We want to make sure our patients are well informed about the influenza virus and how to protect your children from it.  Below are some links about the flu virus and the vaccine:

Healthy Children: The Flu

CDC Flu Vaccine Information Statement (VIS)

FLU CLINICS

We will offer multiple ways for our patients to receive the flu vaccine: outdoor drive through clinics, in office appointments Tuesdays and Thursdays 3-6pm and at well child/sick visits. We are confident that we will be able to provide flu vaccines for all of our patients!

In order to receive a flu vaccine, you must sign up in advance. 

You may receive a confirmation text/email via MyChart. Please disregard the TIME on that reminder. Please arrive during the allotted time of the clinic.

Outdoor drive-thru clinics are at our large side parking lot on the corner of Prince’s Hill Avenue and Anoka Avenue. You will see well-marked entrance/exit signs at the lot to drive in a circle. 

We ask that parents keep their children in the car / in their carseat for the vaccine. We may ask you to quickly help hold the child if necessary. All children less than 2 years should wear shorts and older than 2 years should wear a short sleeve shirt. To keep our clinic flow moving, if your child is having a difficult time at the walk up or drive up clinic, you may be asked to reschedule to an in-office visit. 

Please note – drive-thru clinics are not for needle-phobic patients. Those patients will likely do better with an in-office appointment. 


REMINDERS

-You may receive a confirmation text/email via MyChart. Please disregard the TIME on that reminder. Please arrive during the allotted time of the clinic.

-All patients under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

-Please schedule separate appointments for each of your children. We will not be able to accommodate any patients without appointments. 

-If this is your child's first flu vaccine ever and they are less than 9 year old, PLEASE LET US KNOW AT THE CLINIC. He/she will need a second flu vaccine booster 4 weeks after the first. 

-There is no wait time necessary between receiving the COVID-19 vaccine and the flu vaccine.

-Unfortunately, we do not have enough supply to vaccinate parents with their children. We have been trying to offer this for our families but thus far it is not possible. 

-Is your child allergic to eggs? It is safe to receive the flu vaccine if you have an egg allergy. If you have questions or concerns about this, please talk to your child’s doctor before getting the flu vaccine.

If your child receives a flu shot elsewhere, please send us a message on the Patient Portal so that we can update their records to reflect that the vaccine was completed.

Stay safe and healthy!

  • "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!!!"

From the common cold to having a child with epilepsy, all have always been handled with the utmost care and concern. I am always able to get in a same-day sick visit, as a mother of three, I really appreciate that. I can safely say that this is a great practice to bring your child to."
