Flu Shots for Kids and Parents!
We have acquired our supply of Flu Shots for the flu season. Flu shots are recommended for ALL children above 6 months of age. All of our flu shots are preservative-free!
We will be giving Flu Shots to parents as well! If you would like to schedule please contact our office.
The flu virus is common and unpredictable, and it can cause serious complications and death, even in healthy children. The influenza immunization each year is the best way to protect children. If you choose not to vaccinate your child, you not only miss the opportunity to protect your own child but also can put others at risk. Although influenza can be treated with antiviral medications, these drugs are less effective if not started early, can be expensive, and may have bothersome side effects.
Please protect your precious little ones by calling to set up an appointment while supplies last!

Welcome
“Small town friendliness, but with all the amenities…”
Hometown Pediatrics opened the doors of its new 11,000 square foot clinic in the heart of “downtown” The Woodlands in August of 2005. Despite an ever-increasing volume of patients, at Hometown Pediatrics our vision remains unchanged through the years.
Our Vision
To practice state of the art medical care while maintaining a warm, friendly, service-oriented environment for the entire family.
Immunization Policy
We believe that all children should be fully immunized per the vaccine schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC), unless there are medical contraindications. We are unable to accept new patients/families unless they are willing to fully comply with Hometown Pediatrics' vaccination schedule. We believe this policy advocates for children and their best interest, as well as protects our patients who are too young to be vaccinated. If you are transferring from another practice, you will be required to submit a copy of your child's immunization record prior to scheduling your child's first visit.
