COVID-19 Vaccine Update 💉✨

We have had a lot of calls about the COVID-19 vaccines. Thank you all for being so proactive!

Here’s what our families need to know about us right now:

Final steps to be taken - The CDC director still needs to sign off on new vaccine recommendations. This usually happens quickly — we’ll update you as soon as it’s official!

Who can get it?

- Recommended for everyone 6 months and older.
- Especially important for adults 65+ and those at higher risk.
- Parents should chat with their child’s doctor about risks and benefits.

Where can you get it?

- No prescription is needed at a pharmacy.
- Vaccines will also be available through our office soon.

What’s available at our office right now?

- Pfizer (ages 12+) is in stock

- Moderna (ages 6 months–11 years) is in the works.

We’ll let you know as soon as we can start giving them! Our goal is within the next 2 weeks.

We have a list of patients to contact to schedule. If you are interested, please call us and let us know!

Insurance coverage

- Most plans cover COVID vaccines through 2026 ✅ Check with your insurance if you’re unsure!

- Updates for the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program are still coming

💡 Bottom line: Some pharmacies have already started giving vaccines. We’re working quickly to get our supply so we can begin offering them, too.

Thank you for your patience

We had a blast at our staff outing to celebrate all the hard work and dedication our team puts in every day.

A huge thank you to our patients and their amazing parents for understanding as we closed the office a little early - it means a lot!

Paint n Sip events are officially one of our new favorite ways to relax, laugh, and get creative. ❤️ We are so grateful for this wonderful team and the chance to make memories outside the office. 🎊🩺

What a great time celebrating, Dr. Dawson! Thank you all to everyone who came and to everyone who has helped celebrate him throughout the years! He has touched so many lives, so it was only right to send him off in style! Love to all our patients and to Dr. D!

Just a heads up! We will be closed on Saturday, 8/16, for a private event honoring Dr. Dawson. His last day with the practice is Friday 8/15.
