Flu vaccine is not yet available for the 2018-19 season. When it is available, announcements will be on the home page, Facebook, and Twitter.
Information about Flu Vaccine
It is recommended that all children 6 months and older be vaccinated against influenza for the 2018-2019 season as soon as vaccine is available and throughout the influenza season. East Bay Pediatrics is offering the Quadrivalent Influenza (Flu) vaccine again this year. It protects against 4 strains of Flu virus (2 strains of A and 2 strains of B, including H1N1 and H3N2).
Getting Flu Vaccine For Your Child
Flu Vaccine availability is posted on our home page, Facebook, and Twitter. Your child can receive the flu vaccine at any scheduled visit. Please ask your doctor.
You can also drop in for flu vaccine WEEKDAYS* between the hours of 10:00am - 12:00pm and 2:00pm - 4:00pm. These drop in times are for flu vaccine only. If other vaccines are needed, please call our nurses for an appointment at (925) 254-9203, option 6.
Please print and sign the flu form when you come in for your visit. This form requires parent signature, even if you are sending in older adolescents without a parent.
* Please note that some days we do not offer drop-in times for flu vaccine - see the calendar below. Also, please be prepared to wait as giving injections may take more time than administering the Flumist nasally. The wait times may be shorter during the morning hours.
Extended afternoon drop in hours are available in Orinda on specific days starting at the end of August through end of November from 2:00pm - 6:00pm. The calendar below also lists those days.
