We wanted to let you know that our first shipment of flu shots is running low, and the vaccine manufacturer has told us that the second shipment will be delayed for a couple of weeks. No worries - we will have plenty of flu shots, and will continue to vaccinate into the winter. For now, however, please schedule your child for a flu vaccine ONLY if you would like your child to receive a FluMist (nasal flu vaccine). This is approved for healthy children 2 years and up, and is actually the preferred vaccine for children over 2 in most situations. If you have already scheduled your child for a flu shot, please keep your appointment. We have shots for everyone already scheduled to receive one. If you would like your child to receive a flu shot instead of a FluMist, please check the main page of our website - we should receive our second shipment of vaccine within a few weeks, and will post it there. This delay in shipping is a national issue and is not an issue unique to Carolina Kids, so please bear with us - and thanks for your patience!
