Fall vaccine update

🍂 Fall Vaccine Update: Flu, COVID, RSV & Measles 🍂

As we head into fall, here are the latest updates on vaccines for our patients:


💉 Flu Vaccine

Flu vaccines are now available in our offices for all patients ages 6 months and older.  In addition to the flu shot, we also have FluMist (nasal spray flu vaccine) for children ages 2 years and older who meet criteria.  Please call the office to schedule an appointment.


🦠 RSV Protection for Babies

RSV shots are available for eligible babies under 8 months old whose mother did not receive an RSV vaccine during pregnancy and who did not receive a dose last season.


If your baby is eligible, you can call now to schedule an appointment.  If your baby already has a well child visit scheduled in October, the shot can be given at that visit.


🧬 COVID Vaccine

COVID vaccines are now available for patients 6 months - 11 years old   For kids who are 12 years and older who want a COVID shot, we recommend making an appointment at a pharmacy.


🌎 Measles Update

There is currently no measles outbreak in Philadelphia, so there is no indication for early or extra measles vaccines for most patients at this time.


Active outbreaks in Pennsylvania are currently reported in Lancaster, Lebanon, Berks, Dauphin, Northumberland, York, and Chester Counties.


If your child will be traveling to an area with an active outbreak or internationally:


  • Children 6–12 months old may be eligible for an early MMR vaccine. This dose provides extra protection during travel but does not replace the routine doses given at 12 months and 4 years.
  • Children over 12 months old who received their first MMR vaccine at 12 months may be eligible for an early second dose, as long as it has been at least 28 days since their first dose.

Please call our office before traveling to schedule an appointment to discuss your child’s vaccination needs.


We will continue to keep our families updated as recommendations and local conditions change.
