NOTICE:

Flu season has arrived early this year. We are now seeing children test positive for Influenza regularly.
It’s not too late to get the Flu Vaccine. While no vaccine is perfect, it still offers important protection. Children who receive the flu shot—even when the strain isn’t a perfect match—typically experience milder symptoms and a shorter illness.
Please don’t wait too long. Getting vaccinated now can help protect your child through the peak of the season.
