The Doctors of Pediatric Associates of Franklin, P.A. understand that there are lot of websites giving conflicting information on the "internet". We have compiled a few websites that we feel give good, reliable medical information.

Quick Health Tips:

Flu Shots! We will be having flu shot clinics starting in early-to-mid October. Call our office to arrange an appointment. This year it is recommended for any child 5 years old and under, or children with chronic health problems be immunized. Also, if you have any infants younger than 6 months, or family members who are immunocompromised, your whole family should have the flu shot. We have the Flu Mist for those over 2 years of age who need it.
