This year we are also combining their annual checkups even though it will be 1 and 2 months early. They are loose about things like that though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-dodid-you-take-your-lo-for-their-flu-shot#post-2641984 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 13:38:53 +0000 looch 2641984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I think they have a demand for it, which is why they do it. I believe there was a minimum age for it, and if the kid freaked out, no harm done. They could get it done in the office.</p> <p>They also had walk in clinic, so there was always a choice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-dodid-you-take-your-lo-for-their-flu-shot#post-2641970 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 13:21:50 +0000 Foodnerd81 2641970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always just gone to the pediatrician's, who was 3 blocks away. Now it's 20 minutes away and way less convenient. Plus we just moved and aren't established with the new doctor and I forgot the baby needs a second dose. So I sent their records and am hoping the new ped will do her second dose before her next regular appt... </p> <p>@oliviaoblivia: that's great that they do you too! </p> <p>@looch: drive up sounds nice in theory, but it seems kind of cruel to give a kid who is strapped into a car seat a shot. Even though until this year I always had to hold my toddler down anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-dodid-you-take-your-lo-for-their-flu-shot#post-2641967 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 13:17:38 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2641967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At our peds office. They'll do me and the three kids at the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-dodid-you-take-your-lo-for-their-flu-shot#post-2641959 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 13:03:55 +0000 chopstixwife 2641959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kaiser is awesome that you just walk in at any hospital/clinic during flu season and just get it within a few minutes if there's no wait time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-dodid-you-take-your-lo-for-their-flu-shot#post-2641947 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 12:45:05 +0000 snowjewelz 2641947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doctor; it's only a 5 minute drive, plus currently she still gets wellness appointments every 3 months so we did it the last time she went. But every flu season they have walk in's so it's very convenient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-dodid-you-take-your-lo-for-their-flu-shot#post-2641940 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 12:25:09 +0000 sapphire 2641940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our doctor's office. Quick and easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-dodid-you-take-your-lo-for-their-flu-shot#post-2641865 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 10:46:38 +0000 catgirl 2641865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A flu shot clinic at the pediatrician. Not very convenient but non of the pharmacies do them for young kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-dodid-you-take-your-lo-for-their-flu-shot#post-2641837 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 09:53:07 +0000 Alivoo01 2641837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pedi's office, which is 15 minutes away for us too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-dodid-you-take-your-lo-for-their-flu-shot#post-2641828 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 09:47:18 +0000 looch 2641828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At our old practice, they did a drive up clinic...literally you didn't even get out of the car!</p> <p>Now they do special appointments on Sundays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-dodid-you-take-your-lo-for-their-flu-shot#post-2641796 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 09:12:54 +0000 mediagirl 2641796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone. I ended up making an appointment with her pediatrician for one of their flu clinics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-dodid-you-take-your-lo-for-their-flu-shot#post-2641794 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 09:12:02 +0000 catlady 2641794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pediatrician. We are lucky because she's an October kid so her annual exam is always perfect timing to get the flu shot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-dodid-you-take-your-lo-for-their-flu-shot#post-2641781 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 09:00:58 +0000 littlebug 2641781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our pediatrician does flu shot clinics. But we only live like 6 minutes away, so it's super easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-dodid-you-take-your-lo-for-their-flu-shot#post-2641779 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 08:59:46 +0000 peachykeen 2641779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It varies by state but here in Georgia they require a prescription until 13 and our Kroger pharmacy said they really won't do them at all for toddlers/preschoolers. So we made the inconvenient trek to the pediatrician as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-dodid-you-take-your-lo-for-their-flu-shot#post-2641748 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 08:23:38 +0000 nana87 2641748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've always gotten them at the pediatrician when she goes in for a well-baby visit anyway, but I assume as she gets older and doesn't have well-child appointments that coincide with fall, we'll still get them there... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-dodid-you-take-your-lo-for-their-flu-shot#post-2641744 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 08:15:54 +0000 Smurfette 2641744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pediatrician. I called Target since they do them for free with our insurance. But they won't do them till 4 and then you have to have a prescription till 13 anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-dodid-you-take-your-lo-for-their-flu-shot#post-2641735 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 07:48:20 +0000 lawbee11 2641735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pediatrician. I don't think you can take a child under 6 or 7 to a drug store like CVS or Walgreens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-dodid-you-take-your-lo-for-their-flu-shot#post-2641731 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 07:46:48 +0000 caterw 2641731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure if they carry one suitable for children, but my husband got his at CVS and it was covered by insurance </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-dodid-you-take-your-lo-for-their-flu-shot#post-2641728 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 07:39:47 +0000 mediagirl 2641728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our pediatrician is about 20 minutes from home so it's kind of inconvenient to get there just for the flu clinic. Where do you take your children for their flu shots? </p>
