Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why is the flu shot important for children?
The flu shot helps protect children from influenza, which can cause serious illness. Vaccination reduces the risk of flu-related hospitalizations and helps prevent the spread of the virus to family and friends.
At what age can my child receive the flu vaccine?
The flu vaccine is recommended for children 6 months and older. If you are unsure whether your child should get the flu shot, our pediatricians can guide you during your appointment.
Do I need to schedule an appointment, or can we walk in?
Appointments are encouraged to help reduce wait times and ensure vaccine availability. Please call or text (208) 523-3060 to schedule your visit.
Will my child experience side effects from the flu shot?
Mild side effects such as soreness at the injection site, low-grade fever, or fatigue are possible. These symptoms usually resolve quickly and are far less severe than the flu itself.
Can my child get the flu from the flu shot?
No, the flu vaccine does not cause the flu. It is made from inactive virus components that help the body build immunity without causing illness.
Do parents and caregivers need flu shots too?
Yes, flu shots are recommended for everyone 6 months and older. Protecting yourself also helps protect your children and those with weaker immune systems.
