First Shipment of H1N1 Vaccine Arrives at ESP!

Word of mouth travels quickly around here, but in case you have not heard, it is true that we have received our first shipment of H1N1 vaccine. Here are the details:

- we have received a partial shipment of our supply
- the doses we have received are not for children under age 2 years
- we will begin by vaccinating our high risk patients, and will call those families to schedule the vaccine; this includes: asthmatics, heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune disease, chronic lung disease, families with infants under 6 months of age at home, pregnant women who have not received the vaccine from their Ob/ Gyn and who are recommended by their Ob/ Gyn to receive it
- if you believe you are a high risk patient but have not heard from us to schedule, please call us to discuss

** we have not begun vaccinating patients or families who are outside of this high priority grouping, but will update this post when that does occur; we will also update this as soon as we receive further shipments of vaccine, hopefully in the next few weeks


THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING IN THIS DIFFICULT TIME!
