Seasonal Influenza Vaccination Clinics

2016-2017

We continue to encourage influenza immunization for our patients and families.

This year you will have a choice of influenza immunizations for your child to receive. These choices of influenza immunization are depending on your child’s age.   Please read carefully so you can make an informed decision.

If your child is age 6months to  2 years of age:

         If your child is 6 months to 2 years of age, we will administer Quadrivalent inactivated vaccine (QIV) via intramuscular injection.

         QIV is provided by the Ministry of Health and there is no cost to the family. 

         If your child has not received a previous flu vaccine then he or she will require 2 doses of QIVgiven 1-2 months apart. 

         QIV  cannot cause Influenza or other viral illness as there are no live components to these vaccines.

         QIV  should not be administered to persons with known hypersensitivity to components of the vaccines or those with chicken or egg  hypersensivity without  consultation by their doctor.  They should not be given to children having acute febrile illness or untreated asthma .  

If your child is 2 years of age or older :

         If your child is 2 years of age or older he or she will receive QIV via intranasal mist  OR via intramuscular injection.   Both of these vaccines are given at no cost to the patient.   

         If your child has not received a previous flu vaccine then he or she will require 2 doses of  the  influenza vaccine  1-2 months apart. 

            If there has been a previous flu vaccination only one dose is given.

         Influenza vaccines should not be administered to persons with known hypersensitivity to components of the vaccines or those with chicken or egg  hypersensivity without  consultation by their doctor.  They should not be given to children having acute febrile illness or untreated asthma .
