thank you for your patience

This flu season has been unprecedented.
We are faced with lots of flu cases and limited supply of vaccine.

Currently we have PLENTY of seasonal flu vaccine for children less than 3. This is preservative free.
We have a small amount of seasonal flu vaccine for the over 3 crowd. We have no more seasonal flu mist and no hope of getting any more of that this year.
As far as I can tell, we are NOT seeing any seasonal flu yet this year.

We are seeing tons of H1N1 cases.
SO far none of our cases have been serious ( although we have had plenty of miserable kids)
The typical case is 3 to 4 days of high fever, decreased appetite, some congestion, some vomiting.

We hope to get more H1N1 vaccine within the next few weeks.
We are as frustrated as all of our patients regarding our lack of adequate vaccine at this time
