2025 Vaccine Clinics are now open.
You can now schedule an appointment for one of our vaccine clinics for flu!
Important Clinic Information:
- NAP clinics are for patients between the ages of 6 months and 18 years.
- Hello NAP Families,
- Our office is excited to offer expanded flu vaccine clinics throughout September and October. Please book your appointment now on the MyChart Portal. As a reminder, the AAP and CDC recommend getting flu vaccines as soon as they are available, there is no benefit to waiting until later in the season. We have already had some positive flu tests in the office so there is a chance this will be an early flu season.
- If your child has symptoms consistent with the flu (cough, congestion, fever, body aches, and fatigue), we are happy to see them in our office for assessment and possible testing and treatment. There are also over-the-counter flu tests available. If you use an at-home flu test and it is positive, please send a portal message with a picture of the positive test to your PCP. Our office can then discuss whether school absence notes or Tamiflu may be indicated.
- We continue to monitor the recommendations and availability of the Covid vaccine for the 2025-2026 season. As of now, no pediatric practices in Massachusetts are able to place an order for any Covid vaccines and therefore we are not able to offer it in our offices. We very much hope that Mass DPH will continue expediting this access and will allow us to order soon. We will send more information about this as soon as it becomes available.
- Quoted from the Vaccine Program Update received today:
- “Department of Public Health leadership is reviewing all pertinent information and recommendations regarding the 2025/2026 COVID-19 vaccines. Additional guidance regarding the 2025/2026 COVID-19 formulations, state-supplied ordering instructions, and clinical recommendations will be sent in future communications in the coming weeks, once the guidance is finalized.”
- It does appear that some pharmacies are able to provide the Covid vaccine to children over the age of 5, and are not requiring any form of prescription or doctor’s order. If you would like to have your child vaccinated as soon as possible, this may be the best current option. Children over 5 are able to receive Moderna brand boosters even if they have gotten Pfizer brand vaccines in the past.
- Take care and stay well!
How to Schedule:
