Parent Humor Friday - Can you relate? Some of the funniest parent Tweets from the pandemic. Have a favorite? Or any of your own to share?
Hello Wee Care Pediatrics Las Vegas Families,
**We are strongly encouraging all families and children 6 months of age and older, to get a flu shot this year. Especially this year! We are hoping to prevent people from having both Influenza AND COVID at the same time.
Both illness can lead to many health complications in certain individuals so if a flu shot can help reduce that chance, why not? Visit https://www.cdc.gov/flu/symptoms/flu-vs-covid19.htm for more information about the signs and symptoms of Flu and COVID or just give us a call.
We'll be more than happy to answer any questions you may have. #fightflu
Thank you, Stay Well and Stay Safe!
