**SCROLL DOWN FOR VACCINE APPOINTMENT INFORMATION**
We would like to offer our patients and families some information and advice pertaining to COVID-19.
COVID-19 can present with a myriad of symptoms. Reasons to call us include, but are not limited to:
- Fever (greater than 100.4) at onset if under 4 years of age
- Fever at day 3 if not resolving
- Severe cough, wheezing, or shortness of breath
- Significant dehydration, vomiting or refusal to drink
- Changes or alterations in behavior or consciousness
- Significant sore throat, chest pain, ear pain, or headache
- Suspicious or unusual rashes
- If you are very concerned that your child looks unwell
If in doubt, please call the office and discuss with one of the pediatric nurses.
If your child is scheduled for a well child visit and is NOT well, please notify our office as quickly as possible to change the nature of your child’s appointment or reschedule it. Your child will NOT BE SEEN for a well visit if they are ill.
At this time we have eliminated ALL WALK UP HOURS.
We are vigilant about cleaning down exam rooms and common areas. To that end, please be patient with us as this may take extra time between patients.
Please remember basic precautions: wash your hands frequently, try not to touch your face, sneeze/cough into your elbow.
Avoid crowded places when possible, reschedule unnecessary travel, and avoid visiting others when you are ill.
Please continue to refer to reliable sources for updates.
As always, we have pediatric nurses in the office available during the day, and the triage line available after hours to help address your concerns.
We will continue to make changes as needed based on new information and announcements. There may be times when we need to make changes to our scheduling to best protect patients and staff. We ask for your understanding and patience.
