COVID & Flu Vaccine Scheduling

We are now scheduling flu shots for our patients, as well as their parents and caregivers, for the ’26 – ’27 shot season.  All flu shot appointments should be scheduled using the self-scheduling tool below.  We have NOT yet received the updated COVID vaccine, so we are not scheduling COVID shots at this time, but we will update here once we have received the updated COVID vaccine.  We are anticipating receiving the ’26-’27 COVID vaccine by mid-September.

We are strong believers in the safety and effectiveness of vaccines and therefore will be following the recommendation of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) regarding the COVID-19 and Flu vaccines.

AAP Flu Vaccine recommendation:  All children without medical contraindications starting at 6 months of age.

AAP COVID-19 Vaccine recommendation:  All children ages 6 – 23 months should get vaccinated against COVID-19, along with older children in certain risk groups, based on the evidence on who can benefit from the vaccine.  In addition, as the AAP has also stated, we believe that any parent who wants the vaccine for their child should have access to the vaccine.

 

Please note the below:

  • We are only able to administer immunizations to established patients (and parents/guardians) of Golden Gate Pediatrics.
  • Any patient under the age of 18 years old is required to have a signed waiver by a legal guardian for them to be able to receive the vaccine.  If the minor is going to come to the appointment without a legal guardian, make sure to provide them with the appropriate signed waiver form.  (Please note the waiver form cannot be completed or submit more than 24 hours before the appointment).
  • Parents and caretakers of established patients of Golden Gate Pediatrics may also schedule a Flu and or/COVID Shot appointment.  (Please click here for more info on Parents and Guardians receiving a vaccine from our office.)
  • Flu Booster Shots – Children aged 6 months through 8 years who have not previously received ≥2 total doses of the flu vaccine before July 1, 2026 need 2 doses of the flu vaccine, given ≥4 weeks apart.
  • COVID Booster Shots – patients who are 6 mos – 4 yrs old who have never received a COVID vaccine before should get two doses with the 2nd dose being 4 – 8 weeks after the first dose.

*Flu and/or COVID Shot Waiver (waiver can only be filled out within 24 hours of scheduled appointment)
