THE FLU SHOT IS NOW AVAILABLE, AT ALL 3 LOCATIONS. A flu shot is recommended every year, for all patients age 6 months and older. Also:
- If you have an insurance that requires us to use Vaccine For Children (VFC) Vaccines, such as Medicaid or Wellcare, those Flu shots have not arrived yet but should shortly. It is the same vaccine and was ordered at the same time, but comes to us from a different supplier.
- If you prefer the FluMist nasal spray flu vaccine (for age 2 years and older) those have also been ordered but have not arrived yet. THIS YEAR THE CDC expects the FluMist to have the same effectiveness as the FluShot. But we don’t yet know how soon it will be available this season.

If you haven't tried our patient portal yet (click link below), a storm disruption like this is a great opportunity! Our doctors have been standing by during the evacuation answering your medical questions, and many of you have been using this feature with success. Your doctors, with access to your children's charts, in a secure messaging portal. When appropriate, sending in prescriptions, to wherever you have safely evacuated (Augusta and Atlanta seemed most popular).
***If you need to cancel an appointment for Friday, please reach us through the portal today, so we can open that slot for someone who may need it, and we will reach back out to you ASAP to get your child rescheduled.
***If you had an appointment Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday that was during the evacuation, you may reach out to us through the portal to start the rescheduling process and we can help get you back on ASAP

Pediatric Associates of Savannah officially formed and opened its doors 365 days a year in 1971, the same year Walt Disney World opened. And this is only the FIFTH time we have closed all offices for an entire day....exactly as many closures in the history of The Mouse. (They only closed part of the day for Dorian). As you make your return today, remember your family's safety is your number one priority. Again we will reopen all 3 offices tomorrow (Friday) full schedules normal hours, and please check back here to our Facebook page for updates.

WEDNESDAY 3PM UPDATE- ALL OFFICES REMAINING CLOSED THURSDAY AND REOPENING FRIDAY. Hurricane Dorian is taking its time, and the forecast shows our area likely not safe for reentry tonight, we will still be seeing heavy winds and weather through early Thursday. We expect to have all 3 offices reopen, full schedules, on Friday. Please check here for updates, should weather damage or power outages change these plans.
*** If you had an appointment scheduled with us while we were evacuated Tues/Wed/Thurs, we will reach out to you immediately when we open to help reschedule. Or if you have access to our online portal, please reach out to us that way and we can start the process (www.pedsav.com).
*** If you have an appointment for Friday that you wish to reschedule, please message us through our portal so we can open that slot for someone who may need it, and we will help you reschedule once we are reopened.
In the meanwhile, if you have a medical emergency, hospital Emergency Rooms are open but please consider your family's safety during severe weather.
