TL/DR: We are happy to administer the current version of Covid and Flu vaccines to any Sprout patient or immediate family member, and your insurance will likely cover it in full.
Important Covid vaccine updates
PLEASE READ BEFORE SCHEDULING
Ask your questions in advance! Send them in the portal or Spruce, or instead of coming to the BooBoo Bash, feel free to schedule a ‘sick visit’ so you have time to talk with Dr. K before shots. We want ALL your questions answered before we give shots, but the BooBoo Bash is fast! Every patient gets two whole minutes, so to respect everyone’s time we may ask you to come back for an appointment if you have questions Dr. K can’t answer while operating Buzzy and juggling needles.
You must have a valid credit card on file in the portal before shots. Sprout families should already have one but if not, please add it when you log into the portal to do your forms. (We won’t charge you without notice and you can read more in our financial policy, just ask us for a copy.)
BooBoo Bash Flu & Covid shot scheduling
Sprout Pediatrics patients, their immediate family, and Happy Doc kids under 4 years-old can schedule BooBoo Bash appointments now. If your 4 to 20 year-old kids want FluMist you should schedule for one of the first Bashes ASAP.
Please book consecutive appointments for everyone who will get a shot using their own name. (Eg: Mom Sprout, Dad Sprout, Kid Sprout, & Baby Sprout at 3:30, 3:32, 3:34 & 3:36). The earliest appointment in your group is your family appointment time (3:30 in this example).
You will get email confirmations with the correct appointment times after scheduling. You will also get messages in your Sprout portal account with important instructions and forms for EACH person. Family members who haven’t had a vaccine with us before will get a chart linked to your kid’s portal account. Ignore the appointment times in the portal, they will be wrong.
Message us if you can’t find a block of appointments that work, you don’t get a form notification in the portal or you have any trouble with forms.
We will not check you in at the Bash until all forms are complete.
You will be bumped to the end of the schedule for that Bash if you do not have a credit card on file. Please finish all portal forms in advance and help us stay on time and get everyone poked quickly & on their way again!
