Sports Physicals, flu shots, & other news
Sports Physicals
The end of the school year is fast approaching but let’s get ready for the next one. Did you know that your annual Well Child Check is also a sports physical? If your child has had their Well Child Check within the last year we can fill out their sports physical forms. You can call our office to check the date of their last Well Child Check or schedule their next check-up.
Please get the sports physical forms here, fill out the medical history portion, and bring them with you. We’ll fill out the rest.
Flu SHOTS
Flu shots are usually available in our clinic from late August until the following spring. During the season we usually have flu mist for children 3 and up, and flu shot for children 6 months old and up. If you’d like your child vaccinated, please call for an appointment during the season.
WildFire Smoke
Northern Nevada now experiences an air quality crisis nearly every summer and fall due to wildfire smoke. Smoke increases all types of respiratory illnesses in children. To protect them:
-Follow local air quality on a phone app such as Air Visual.
-Stay indoors if the air quality index (AQI) is greater than 100.
-Use masks outdoors if AQI is greater than 50. Cover infant car seats with thin cloth when outside.
-Use air purifiers indoors, if possible. Good ones can be found here.
