CDC Advisory Committee Recommends Human Papilloma Virus Vaccination
HPV Vaccine
The CDC currently recommends the routine immunization against HPV for teenage girls beginning at 11 years of age. HPV, or Human Papilloma Virus, is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States. While most infections are asymptomatic and up to 90% resolve in 1-2 years, some infections lead to genital warts and others lead to a chronic infection placing a woman at risk for cervical cancer. To read more about the HPV vaccine, feel free to access the CDC website directly.
Varicella Vaccine
The American Academy of Pediatrics has now recommended a second or booster dose for Varicella for children and teenagers who have never had chicken pox. Please contact our office for specific details on your child's immunizations status and when to get the second Varicella vaccine. To read more about the AAP recommendations and other information about vaccines, visit the AAP website.
Walk-In Office Hours Changes
Walk-In Office Hours are now from 8 am to 8:30 am Mondays through Fridays, excluding holidays. We offer Drop-In Office Hours on Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. for urgent issues only (e.g. fever, vomiting, ear ache, sore throat, etc... - no well-checks nor follow-ups) and only for established patients (no new patients). For these office hours, patients will be seen on a first come first served basis; therefore arriving early will ensure prompt service. No appointment is necessary during these hours. Space is limited however, and you may be asked to schedule an appointment after 8:45 a.m. depending on patient flow. If the drop-in office hours are filled and cannot immediately accommodate you, you will be given the first available regular appointment later that morning.
Weekend Office Hours: South East Bay Pediatric Medical Group continues to provide weekend urgent care both Saturdays and Sundays beginning at 9:00 A.M. Please call to schedule an appointment after 9:00 A.M.
