Pediatric Partners of Augusta wants to help protect your children and families from the flu. Due to a shortage of available flu vaccines, we can only offer limited Saturday flu clinics in the Evans clinic only, where walk-ins are available on:
- Wednesday, 10/30, 9:00am – 7:00pm, Evans clinic. This will be a walk-in clinic (no appointments), for the flu vaccine AND Halloween treats for the children.
- Saturday, 11/2, 9:00am – 11:00am, Evans clinic.
It is important to keep your child healthy and immunized. The Centers for Disease Control recommends everyone over the age of 6 months receive a flu vaccine (with rare exceptions). While your child may experience some flu-like symptoms after receiving the vaccine, your child cannot get the flu from the vaccine.
The flu vaccine reduces the risk of the flu and its complications. The flu can lead to serious illness, hospitalization, and even death in children, especially those under 5 years old. According to the Centers for Disease Control, a 2022 study showed that the flu vaccine reduces the risk of severe, life-threatening influenza in children by 75 percent.
Pediatric Partners has three locations to better serve our patients. The Evans office is at 411 Town Park Blvd.; the downtown Augusta office is at 1303 D’Antignac St., Suite 2600; and the Grovetown office is at 5135 Wrightsboro Road.
