FLU VACCINE CLINIC (02/16/21 - 02/26/21)

2/12/2021

 
East Bay Pediatrics encourages all of our patients to get the flu vaccine this year. Studies have shown that those who have gotten their flu vaccines have fewer complications from Covid-19. If your child has not yet received a flu vaccine for the 20-21 season, we are holding a flu vaccine clinic at the Orinda location in the next two weeks (2/16 through 2/26). If your child has already received the flu vaccine, please notify our office of the date that the vaccine was given (month and year is OK) by messaging us through the patient portal.

In lieu of drop in, we bring you an on-line sign up and contact free check in through Solv. Make an appointment by clicking on this link or copying & pasting the link into your browser: https://www.solvhealth.com/book-online/A9mEQA.

Here are a few tips for using the new service:
  • This appointment system is currently ONLY for flu shots.
  • Please sign up the YOUNGEST child for one slot and add any siblings using the questionnaire on the site.
  • Under Reason for Visit, please enter Flu Shot.
  • It is NOT necessary to create an account. 
  • If you get stuck, you can skip any section but you may be asked to go back. In order to maintain patient privacy, the system does not save any answers.
  • Please wait in your car when you get to the office. Use the text feature in Solv to let us know you are here.
  • Please follow the pink arrows and enter through the side door only.

If you encounter any problems, please call the office during business hours at (925) 438-1100.

Patients with upcoming visits can get the flu vaccine during their scheduled visit. If you don't see any available time slots, please try again another day. The system has been popular and fills up quickly.

In Memoriam: Dr. Mary Jones 2/8/1948 to 11/21/20

2/2/2021

 
East Bay Pediatrics mourns the passing of Dr. Mary Jones on November 21, 2020. Many of you have known her from over 20 years of practice at East Bay Pediatrics. Dr. Jones was the first female full-time physician at East Bay Pediatrics, joining the practice in 1982 and changing the dynamic of the practice for years to come. She touched the lives of so many patients, parents and staff with her sweet smile and calm manner. She spent countless hours going the extra mile for her patients. There is no question that her patients’ needs always came first. 

In 2014, Dr. Jones redirected her work to become the clinical director for Katie’s Clinic, the Rett Syndrome Clinic at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland. Her passion for understanding the science behind the syndrome has led to significant improvements in the health and well-being of these girls. Dr. Jones will continue to impact Rett Syndrome patients and their families from around the world through the Katie Nues Foundation.

Although Dr. Jones has not been at East Bay Pediatrics for several years, we still consider her family and will miss her very much. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, her family had a small ceremony to spread her ashes and will hold a virtual service on her birthday, February 8, 2021. Virtual services will be held by Zoom on Saturday, February 6 at 1pm. Please register in advance for the event using this link.

Please see her official obituary for more details about her amazing life and for information about services.

COVID-19 update from East Bay Pediatrics for January 6, 2021

1/6/2021

 
As we head into the New Year, East Bay Pediatrics is excited to think about controlling this pandemic. All of our physicians have received their first vaccine and we are working on getting our staff vaccinated. When vaccine is available to the general public, we encourage everyone who qualifies to get vaccinated and to take the vaccine that is available, no matter the vendor.

Meanwhile, please remember to wear your mask and stay 6 feet apart from each other. We must do all we can to curb the spread of this disease! Our office has been doing 10-20 rapid tests through the holidays and at least one positive every day. There have been no exposures within the practice and no staff or doctors turning positive through patient care. Thank you for following the precautions we have established to make patient care a safe experience for all!

Have a Happy New Year!

Happy Holidays from East Bay Pediatrics!

12/22/2020

 
Please stay healthy and safe over this coming holiday. As you can see from our photos, we stayed 6 feet apart and masked for our 2020 Zoom holiday party! Follow the guidelines from our counties - don't gather, keep your masks on, wash your hands. We hope that when 2021 come around, we will have more information about a COVID-19 vaccine for our patients!
