Covid Vaccine News

We have received some Covid vaccines for 2023-2024 but not a full supply.  At this time we do not have enough Covid vaccine to schedule vaccine-only appointments. When we receive larger shipments, we will post this information and hold vaccine clinics. Please continue to check our website and social media for updated availability.

We recommend Covid vaccination for all children ages 6 months and up.

Covid-19 Infection in Children

Children with Covid-19 may have cold symptoms, a cough, a fever, chills, muscle pain, diarrhea, headache, sore throat, loss of smell or taste, or shortness of breath or difficulty breathing.  Most children with mild Covid-19 symptoms can be safely cared for at home with Tylenol or ibuprofen, lots of fluids, and rest. Some children with Covid-19 will go on to develop more severe symptoms such as very high fever, fever for more than 2-3 days, new rash, abdominal pain, confusion, weakness or difficulty breathing. If you are concerned your child has any of these serious symptoms, please contact our office or other medical care urgently.

Pediatric Multi-System Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS-C)

There is a serious illness that may be associated with Covid-19 called Pediatric Multi-System Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS-C). Pediatric Multi-System Inflammatory Syndrome appears to be a rare disorder of the vascular system that occurs during or in the weeks following a Covid infection. Children with this syndrome typically are very ill. Symptoms include 4-5 days of persistent fever, cough, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, and red eyes. Children with severe symptoms may have difficulty breathing, difficulty walking or moving, or seem confused, lethargic, or unusually sleepy. If you think your child may have these symptoms, please contact our office or other medical care urgently.
