Dear P.A.M.P.A. Families,
 
We are pleased to announce that we have received a shipment of H1N1 nasal mist vaccine in all four of our offices.  
 
We are currently scheduling appointments with our nurses for patients who fall into the following high risk categories:    
  • All children 2 years through 6 years of age and their siblings.
  • All parents and siblings of babies under 6 months of age.  
Please note that there must be a 28 day (4 week) interval between this vaccine and other live vaccines including the seasonal flu mist.   This nasal mist vaccine is indicated for healthy people 2 years through 49 years of age who are not pregnant.   Adults and children with asthma, diabetes and certain other health problems may not receive the vaccine in the nasal mist form. 
 
For complete information on who may safely take the H1N1 nasal mist vaccine please read over the vaccine information statement by following this link:
The charge for the administration of the vaccine is $21 for parents and patients for whom we do not file insurance.
 
We will send an additional notification when we are able to schedule patients in other age groups for the vaccine.   
 
During flu season, the doctors remind us that we can all take measures to prevent the spread of respiratory diseases like flu by doing the following:  
  1. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue or your bent arm when you cough or sneeze.
  2. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze.
  3. Use antibacterial hand gel when anyone in the household is ill.
  4. The ill individual should stay at home until there is no fever for 24 hours.
Please feel free to call a staff member in your primary office with any questions and to read additional information on H1N1 illness and vaccines on the C.D.C. website at www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu.
