A WHOOPING COUGH outbreak has hit California. For details please click here to read the latest. If your child has been immunized on time and receives regular care, there is no cause to be alarmed. However if you have chosen to delay immunizations, check with your doctor to see if your child(ren)'s vaccines are up to date. Also, if you have a baby under 6 months of age, it is especially important that your adult TDaP(tetanus,diphtheria,pertussis<aka whooping cough> vaccine) is up to date.
Passport Health (in our building) is offering adult TDaP vaccines for $85, so if you have not had a "tetanus shot" since 2005, chances are you need one now! Passport Health's number is 888 499 7277
Remember to schedule your summer physicals NOW! Our books are filling rapidly as many of our kids are heading off to camp, kindergarten, new schools and college!Many parents are calling asking for "ASAP" physicals and form completions, when our appointments are already bulging at the seams....so please try as best you can to anticipate, and plan early!
SCHOOL/CAMP FORMS: we are receiving 40-60/day, so PLEASE get them in early as it will take 2-3 days for completion. If your child has a physical, bring them in at the appointment for more timely completion. Fee is $5/form - payable upon submission (and not covered by insurance).
