Flu Vaccine Information

Flu Vaccine has arrived at Northpoint Pediatrics for the 2025-2026 Flu Season!

FACT:  Our flu vaccine is preservative-free.

Options for your child to receive the injectable flu vaccine or the FluMist vaccine:

  • The flu vaccine can be given to your child(ren) if they have a current scheduled appointment for a checkup, recheck, or any other healthy appointment.  Siblings can come to these appointments and receive their flu vaccine as well.  Please call ahead to reserve their spot.
     
  • To schedule, please call us on weekdays at 317-621-9000 between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.  If our available openings are not convenient for your family, one of the many clinics around the city may be a perfect match.  We recommend checking your local pharmacies or health departments online to inquire about the ages of the children they vaccinate and the availability of appointments. 
     
  • Our doctors support the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation that all children six months and older get their influenza vaccine by the end of October or sooner.
     
  • Children must be 6 months old to receive the flu vaccine.
     
  • If your child is under 9 years old and receiving the flu vaccine for the first time, two doses, 28 days apart, are recommended.

FluMist is an intranasal flu vaccine that can be given to healthy children two years old and older.  FluMist is NOT an egg-free product and is contraindicated in children with an allergy to eggs, children receiving aspirin-containing therapy, children with a history of Guillain-Barré syndrome, and children with known or suspected immune deficiency.  FluMist should NOT be administered to patients with a history of asthma, active wheezing, or children under five years of age with recurrent wheezing. 

Please review the vaccine checklist questions and information statement below before your child's flu vaccine appointment.  Following these guidelines will help us quickly get you in and out of your appointment.
