Influenza vaccines for the 2021-2022 season are now available. We are now scheduling influenza vaccination clinics for the entire family (as insurance/supplies allow). Clinics will be held under canopies outside or socially distanced one way in-office clinics. Flu clinics are BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. There will be NO DROP INS. We hope to get as many of our families vaccinated this season as efficiently and as safely as possible. All members of the family older than age 2 should come masked and maintain 6 feet distance from other families.
Important Announcement re: After Hours Advice Line
As you know medical costs continue to climb and we are currently confronted with the need to change, and pay significantly more for, our after hours advice calls. We are committed to providing thorough and timely medical advice for your family, including after hours.
After an extensive search and review process, we are pleased to announce that starting on 2/1/24 we, along with all UBCP-affiliated practices, will be offering after hours advice through a new group, Anytime Pediatrics.
When our office is closed, including on holidays, you may call Anytime Pediatrics for advice at (623) 663-1707. As before, if your child needs an after-hours appointment, appointments can be made at GoHealth in Oakland. One important change to note is that we will bill your insurance for these calls, and that these calls may be subject to a co-pay, co-insurance, or deductible, if not covered by your insurance.
Prior to making an after-hour call, the providers at Berkeley Pediatrics recommend that you look up your child’s symptoms on the AAP website healthychildren.org symptom checker:
