Flu Shots 

Influenza (the flu) can cause serious illness in children, especially in younger age groups or those with chronic health issues. That’s why Maumee Bay Pediatrics places particular emphasis on providing Flu Shots for infants, children, and teens in Oregon, Ohio and Toledo.

We follow the latest CDC recommendations for annual flu vaccination — typically starting in the fall — and we time vaccination campaigns to maximize protection during peak flu season. Flu shots help reduce the risk of hospitalization, complications (such as pneumonia), and disease transmission.

Parents appreciate that we offer flu vaccination on site, often as a walk-in or by appointment during flu clinics. We make it convenient for families in Oregon, Ohio and Toledo to protect their children locally, without needing to visit urgent care or pharmacy settings.

During the flu shot visit, we screen for contraindications, provide age-appropriate vaccine formulations (e.g., cell-based, inactivated), and counsel on side effects. Our staff is trained to administer vaccines with minimal discomfort, and we monitor children briefly following the injection.

We also coordinate flu vaccination with other pediatric visits — for example, combining with wellness checkups or urgent visits — to reduce extra trips for families. We provide reminders, parent education, and convenient scheduling to encourage high uptake in our community.

To schedule or inquire about flu shots for your child in the Toledo or Oregon area, call Maumee Bay Pediatrics or check our online clinic calendar. Together, we can help your family stay protected through flu season.
