Just to let everyone know not only has Influenza A been very active in the area, we just had our fist positive test for Influenza B.
We are recommending for all of the kids to get the vaccine this year, even if your child has already gotten the A strain already.
If you are concerned about the vaccine, let us know, but at least make sure to get one caregiver vaccinated.
At a recent house call for a child at high risk, not only did she test positive but the mother was also ill.
While I was able to prescribe prophylactic Tamiflu for the father, there was no guarantee that he wasn’t just hours away from being as sick as Mom.
