Many of the 44 practices that make up
Texas Children’s
Pediatric Associates (TCPA) around the Houston area have
received a limited quantity of the nasal vaccine for H1NI (swine)
influenza. The supplies of vaccine are being distributed
in the accordance with CDC and Texas Department of State Health
Services guidelines, as outlined below.
Limited Doses
Texas Children’s Pediatric
Associates (TCPA) practices are administering limited
quantities of the nasal vaccine for H1NI flu to their
patients. If you are currently a patient family and have
not been contacted by your pediatrician, please call your
TCPA
office to schedule an appointment. Although quantities
are limited and vary by location, TCPA offices will continue
to receive doses. The schedule, however, is uncertain at
this time.
Texas Children's Hospital is not
administering the H1N1 vaccine.
Remember, shipments are limited and are arriving in stages,
so everyone is asked to be patient.
