COVID-19 Letter

Dear PediatriCare Associates Family:

The staff and doctors at PediatriCare Associates have been your partner in the healthcare and the well being of your children for over 40 years.

During the last several weeks, our practice has heard many concerns regarding the Coronavirus (COVID19).

We have been trying to adhere to the constantly changing guidelines from the CDC, WHO and Department of Health.  We are following social distancing and have implemented a change in our office schedules.

    • We will be seeing well care visits in all offices throughout the week.
    • We will then be seeing sick patients in all offices.
     • We will continue to reconfirm all well visits a day or two before the visit.  However, if you have any concerns regarding the appointment for your child or your child is ill: fever, cold symptoms including cough, sore throat or congestion, please let us know by calling us.

As always, we will be available for after office hour questions and concerns as needed by calling our office.  After 11PM, these calls are routed through our answering service to our on-call nurse triage service.  We receive a notification of each of these calls, and will reach out directly to you in the morning.  If your call is not urgent, please reach out to our office in the morning after 7AM.

Our doctors and staff will be wearing goggles, masks, gloves and gowns when necessary.

We are asking our ill patients to enter through the side doors in each of our offices that have signage stating to call our office when you arrive or to knock when approaching the entrance.  

We will be sanitizing our rooms between visits to lessen any chance of illness.

During times like this we need your support.  Please enjoy this opportunity and gift with your children and loved ones.  You are their source of strength and calm in the middle of this storm.

Please remember that together as a family we will all get through this one day at a time.

Thank you,

From the Doctors and Staff of PediatricCare Associates

COVID-19

Dear PediatriCare Associates Family:

AS WE CAN NOT HOLD OUR ANNUAL FLU CARNIVAL DURING THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC, WE WILL HOWEVER BE HOLDING OUTDOOR FLU CLINICS AT OUR WOODLAND PARK AND FAIRLAWN OFFICE IN THE PARKING LOT. PLEASE CALL TO ARRANGE AN APPOINTMENT.

PediatriCare Associates Outdoor Flu Clinics 

We ask that everyone arrive ON TIME to our outdoor FLU clinics; and ask that everyone wear a mask, including all children unless they younger than 2 years of age.  Please dress children in loose clothing. Please note that children under 3 will receive their FLU vaccine in their thigh.

We will not be able to accommodate last minute appointments, or addons due to the process we will have in place to assure everyone’s safety by adhering to social distancing as mandated by the CDC and State of New Jersey.

All patients will receive a “FLU CHECK-IN PACKET”, once they check in at our check-in table; and then you will proceed to one of our FLU tents.  You will then hand the packet to a nurse, receive your shot and leave with a copy of the vaccine record promptly.

Important Notes for this year’s Outdoor FLU Clinics

·     If you answer yes to any of the questions on the Screening Checklist your child will not be eligible to receive their FLU shot at the Outdoor FLU Clinic

·       There will be NO availability to speak with a doctor at the FLU Clinic

·     The temperature for the child, adolescent and chaperone will be taken at the check-in table and must be under 100 degrees to receive a FLU shot

AS A REMINDER WE WILL CONTINUE TO OFFER FLU CLINICS THROUGHOUT THE WEEK AT ALL LOCATIONS BY APPOINTMENT AND ATTEMPT TO VACCINATE OUR PATIENTS AT THEIR CHECKUPS AND SICK VISITS WHEN APPROPRIATE

If you need to visit any of our locations, please adhere to the call for all Americans to wear face coverings in public to slow spread of the coronavirus; and when you enter our office, we will enforce one parent or guardian and we will be taking your temperature.
