Pediatric Associates of Springfield is committed to providing safe and timely pediatric care. We are pleased to offer flu vaccines for children, which consistently help prevent infection and complications. We recommend this vaccine for most children, with simplified scheduling for children aged 6 months and older.

For new flu vaccine recipients, children aged 6 to 9 requiring the vaccine for the first time need two doses spaced apart monthly.

In response to current health guidelines, we have adjusted scheduling to limit exposure, and we have eliminated waiting areas for enhanced family safety. We closely monitor COVID-19 updates and encourage families to follow precautions, such as handwashing. Please call (417) 882-1600 to schedule a nurse visit and for concerns regarding exposure.
