2024-25 FLU SATURDAY VACCINE CLINICS ARE OPEN!
Please call now to schedule your child's annual Influenza vaccine appointment. We have flu clinic appointments for every Saturday morning through November 2nd. We have both the injectable flu vaccine for children 6 months and older and nasal Flumist for children over 2y. Remember for the first flu vaccination in a child's life (if your child is less than age 9y), your child will need to receive two flu vaccines (initial vaccine and booster), at least 4 weeks apart to be covered.
In addition, your child and their siblings can receive their flu vaccine at a regularly scheduled appointment.
RSV ANTIBODY BEYFORTUS
For infants from birth until 8 months of age and certain high risk toddlers under 2y, we are offering Beyfortus during the RSV season (October through March)! Beyfortus is a monoclonal antibody that provides excellent protection from RSV (respiratory syncytial virus). It is recommended for children in this age category whose mothers did not receive the maternal RSV vaccine during pregnancy. RSV is a respiratory virus that can cause significant wheezing and respiratory distress for infants. Please call to schedule your appointment!
WE HAVE THE UPDATED 2024-25 COVID VACCINE
We have the 2024-25 Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines for all ages. Please call to schedule your appointment!
WE HAVE A NEW WAY OF DOING OFFICE PAPERWORK
We know - it's hard to fill out paperwork in the office! We are working with CHADIS, a service which will allow you to fill out visit questionnaires from home in advance of your appointment. This is especially helpful for the developmental questionnaires ... it gives you time to try out a new skill at home before your appointment. About two weeks prior to your visit, you will receive an email or text to the contact in your patient portal with a link to fill out your forms from your phone or computer. We will receive your information and can address any concerns at your visit in the office. If you get an email from CHADIS, please follow the link. Thank you!
ANNUAL ADMINISTRATION FEE
Glendale Pediatrics has an annual family practice fee for all patient families to cover administrative costs so that we may continue to be an independent practice. This annual practice charge assists us in providing important but non-billable services that insurance companies do not cover. Please see the link "Admin Fee Policy Letter" above for details. You may pay the fee by following the "Pay Annual Admin Fee" link above.
WE PROVIDE TELEMEDICINE
Some visits are appropriate for telemedicine. A note from our billing staff: telemedicine visits are paid by most major insurance companies, but we recommend that you review your coverage with your insurance plan. There may be an out-of-pocket responsibility, just as your insurance company requires when you are physically in the office.
GLENDALE PEDIATRICS IS AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL LOS ANGELES HEALTH NETWORK
We are an active affiliate office of the CHLA Health Network, a network of high quality pediatricians working hard to improve the care of our patients.
QUESTIONS ABOUT ALTERNATIVE VACCINE SCHEDULE?
We at Glendale Pediatrics encourage all our patients to receive their vaccines on schedule per the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics. If you choose to vaccinate your child following an alternative vaccine schedule, please note that these visits with be booked with your doctor to ensure safety and help guide your decision-making process. We also have some basic vaccination requirements for our patients.
