Announcements

FLU VACCINE UPDATE

Due to supply chain issues, our vaccine manufacturers have had delays in shipping our flu vaccines. We will contact you via message on our patient portal or call us to inquire about our current supply. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Injectable Flu Vaccine (ages 6 months and above) and Flumist (ages 2 and above) for the 2020-2021 Flu Season are intermittently available for our patients. Our vaccines again cover 4 strains of influenza. The CDC does not have a preference for either vaccine, but Flumist is contraindicated with certain medical conditions and medications.

We are trying something new for flu "clinics" this year. We are piloting a program to have you remain in the car in a dedicated parking spot with your children.

You will text a number to let us know you have arrived, your name, how many patients are receiving vaccines and the make/color of your car.
To streamline the vaccine administration, please have your child older than 1 year wear short sleeves, and your child under 1 year have legs exposed. We may need to have you help us hold little hands during the injections.
In addition, please have everyone in the car, 2 years of age and older, wear a mask or face covering.
Download, complete and print out the consent form below to expedite your visit.
If weather makes it difficult to for our staff to be outside, we will administer vaccines in a isolated area of our office.

Call to schedule an appointment as soon as possible, especially because Flumist supplies run out quickly.

Here are our current precautions:

-If you think your child has symptoms or has been exposed to a known case of Coronavirus/COVID 19, please contact us by phone for further instructions or notify the staff of your concern when scheduling an appointment.

-To limit patient to patient interactions within the office, we are scheduling well child checks primarily in the morning, and seeing ill patients in the afternoon in another suite in our building. Upon arrival for a well visit, both the patient and parent/guardian will be temperature screened prior to entering the office. Should a temperature of 100.4 or higher be detected, the office visit will take place in the separate suite or may be rescheduled.

-Please call to notify us when you arrive for you appointment, but please wait in the car. We will call you when a room is available or direct you a temporary outdoor exam room, if indicated. Please wear a mask or facecovering when you enter the office.

-Please limit visitors to our office, especially grandparents who are high risk. We request 1 adult and 1 child, if feasible.

-We are also offering virtual visits via the above healow app.

Thank you for your understanding,

Telemedicine Visits now Available!

Conejo Children’s Medical Group is excited to announce that we are now offering TeleVisits, a more convenient appointment option, which allows patients to have a visit with their medical provider from the comfort of their home or office. To schedule a TeleVisit with our office, call our office at (805) 499-5525. (Please note that in the event of an emergency you should not use TeleVisits, but call 911 to seek immediate medical help.) You can book a TeleVisits appointment for most visits. Please note this is a billable service. Due to the unique circumstances created by COVID 19, your health insurance should cover the cost of the visit, but you may be still responsible for copay costs. Ensure you are enabled for our Patient Portal and know your username and password when your appointment is booked.

We still recommend in person appointments for annual check ups, especially for young children and those visits where vaccines are due.

Please feel free to call our office if you have any questions or concerns.
