Keeping Kids Healthy: Flu, RSV, and COVID Protection

Prev Next

At Children’s Primary Care Medical Group (CPCMG), your child’s health is our priority. Respiratory illnesses like flu, RSV, and COVID-19 spread easily among children, especially during the fall and winter months. The good news is there are safe and effective ways to help protect your family. 


Influenza (Flu)

The flu can cause fever, cough, sore throat, and body aches in children.

Flu vaccines for children 6 months and up are available now at CPCMG clinics.

We will also offer special flu vaccine clinics starting October 4.

Families can schedule appointments conveniently through MyChart.

RSV Preventive Medication

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) can cause serious illness in infants and young children. 

CPCMG offers an RSV preventive medication that helps protect babies from getting sick. 

It is recommended for: 

  • All infants younger than 8 months born during or entering RSV season. 

  • Some children 8–19 months who are at high risk. 

Starting in October, your child can receive RSV preventive medication at their well visit. Appointments can be scheduled through MyChart or by calling your pediatrician’s office.
