We are seeing a mild virus that has had a fever for 3 or 4 days.
We have had plenty of ear infection.
We still have odd rashes showing up.
Most of our sore throats this week have NOT been strep, although a bad sore throat that does not have associated congestion should be checked.
We will be getting the flu vaccine very shortly.It is recommended that all children over the age of 6 months get protected.
Parents, grandparents and nannies of younger babies should also make sure they get the vaccine.
We never quite know what the flu season has in store for us.
Sometimes it shows up early. Sometimes we don't see it until February. Once in a while the strain will be quite severe and then there is a rush to get vaccinated and the supplies get strained.
We anticipate having enough to take care of the normal demand, but can't guarantee availability late in the season if the demand takes a strong upturn
The Flu vaccine should give protection for the entire season, so plan to get it early to avoid the rush.
I will blog the information about the flu shot clinic hours as soon as things are set.
Stay well.
