Flu season, also known as influenza season, starts in the fall and continues into spring every year. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends everyone over the age of 6 months to get a yearly flu shot to prevent influenza or experience less severe flu symptoms.
It’s important to get a flu vaccination for protection while COVID-19 continues to spread. Less people with the flu will help reduce the burden on our local health care providers during the coronavirus pandemic and influenza season.
Many SouthCoast Health locations are offering flu shots. To schedule at your provider’s office, call the office to make an appointment for the flu vaccination. Patients can also save time by clicking on the link below to schedule a flu shot online at our main Savannah campus. (Walk-ins and new patients are accepted.)

Why get your ears pierced by a medical provider? Unlike the mall or other non-medical offices, Moon River Pediatrics uses sterile medical grade titanium and plastic only. This avoids allergic reactions and minimizes the risk of infection. We can also provide numbing cream upon request.
What age is best? Moon River Pediatrics recommend patients are at least 3 months old and have received their first round of vaccines. After 9 months of age, Moon River Pediatrics recommend waiting until the child can “ask” to get their ears pierced.
What is the cost? The ear piercing fee is $125 for non-members and $100 for members of Moon River Pediatrics. This includes the cost of earrings.
What else should I know? The pierced stud should be left in for 6 weeks before changing out the earring. Ideally an earring should be worn at all times during the first 12 months to prevent the hole from closing up. Swimming is not recommended for the first two weeks after piercing.
How to schedule
Please call HERE or text Moon River Pediatrics at (912) 513-5787 for more information or to schedule your visit. This service is open to the public. You do not need to be a Moon River Pediatrics patient.
