Welcome to Cohasset Family Practice

Today's Family Physicians. Specializing in All of You.

November 2009

Our office has received a small shipment of H1N1 vaccine for children 6 months to 18 years. We are still awaiting additional supply from the manufacturer of seasonal vaccine.

If you have a child between the ages of 6 months and 18 years and please call our office to schedule an appointment. We will only be able to schedule appointments matching our current supply. Please be aware that there are restrictions on who can receive the vaccines that have been shipped. As with all other medical offices we are hopeful to receive enough vaccine for everyone.

As most are aware, there is a delay in shipment of our pre-ordered doses due to a national shortage. Feel free to call our office to check to see if any flu has arrived. Our office is following all CDC and federal guidelines for vaccination.

Some helpful websites for up to date influenza information:
www.mass.gov/dph (all the schools and media refer to this site)
www.cdc.gov

Patients can log on to the government website:
http://www.flu.gov/evaluation/ to see if they have the flu and what is medically recommended.

Also, patients can dial a hotline: 211 from any landline phone for flu-related questions (just like you would dial 411 for information).

Lastly, you can always call and ask for Tricia, the Practice Administrator if you have any questions.
