As Pediatrics West prepares for the upcoming 2025-2026 respiratory season, we would like to update you on the Influenza and COVID-19 vaccines.
Flu/ COVID-19 Vaccine
Our office has received our flu vaccine and will now be scheduling appointments for administration. We will be offering Sanofi Fluzone preservative-free influenza vaccine. Our two large Saturday flu clinics will be held on October 11th and November 15 by appointment only. You can schedule via MyChart or by calling our office at 720-284-3700.
We will also be offering flu vaccine to parents and caregivers for a charge of $35. We do not bill parents insurance but will provide a receipt for you to submit to your insurance company if needed.
COVID-19 update
Our office has a goal, with share decision making, to offer Moderna Covid-19 vaccine (2025-2026 formula) when it becomes available. This would be for our patients aged 6months and above who wish to receive it.
The AAP is strongly recommending COVID-19 vaccines for children ages 6 months to 2 years. Vaccinations are also recommended for older children who have chronic lung diseases or other conditions that put them at higher risk for severe disease per the AAP. Children 2 through 18 years of age not included in the risk groups above whose parent or guardian desires their protection from COVID-19 should be offered a single dose of age appropriate 2025-2026 COVID-19 vaccine. We are still waiting for additional information to roll out such as shipping information from the manufacture and insurance coverage.
We will post additional information and send MyChart updates as we learn more.
IMPORTANT SCHEDULING INFORMATION:
- We are utilizing MyChart to schedule your vaccine appointments as this will help with decrease wait times when calling the office.
- Only schedule one child per appointment slot for flu vaccine. (Unable to schedule for COVID-19 vaccine at this time)
- In the appointment note, please indicate which vaccines you would like your child to receive AND how many parents will be receiving flu, for example:
- FLU ONLY (plus how many parents for Flu)
This information is required to ensure that we have enough vaccine on hand for your child.
