COVID-19 Coronavirus Information

To all of our TriHealth Queen City Physicians families:

We would like to express our gratitude to all of you for your understanding and patience throughout this unprecedented time due to the COVID 19 pandemic. We remain committed to providing the highest quality care for your children.

We realize the importance of providing the best possible safety measures for our patients, their families, and our staff. We would like to assure you that we are following CDC guidelines regarding social distancing and appropriate cleaning of exam rooms, equipment, and our waiting room areas.

We will be open at both the Glenway and Western Ridge offices for both well exam visits and sick visits starting in July with the necessary safeguards in place. We encourage routine well visits to monitor growth and development and to keep on the recommended schedule with needed immunizations. Also, there are many routine illnesses and conditions that pediatric patients develop that warrant evaluation, even during this challenging time. We want you to know we are here for you and your child.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

Sincerely,
The physicians and staff of TriHealth Queen City Physicians

To prevent the spread of illness and to comply with Trihealth policy, everyone should be wearing a mask. If you have your own mask, please make sure you and your child are wearing them when you enter the building.

**Please note** Our walk in strep clinic will be cancelled until further notice.

Flu shots have arrived!

This year, it is even more important to receive your annual flu vaccine. To help protect everyone during the COVID pandemic, we will be changing our usual office procedures for flu vaccinations.

Flu vaccines will be administered BY APPOINTMENT ONLY!

If your child has a well exam or ill visit appointment scheduled at our office, he or she can receive the flu vaccine at that appointment. You can also call the office to schedule a nurse appointment to receive the flu vaccine.

Again this year, we are offering flu vaccines to parents who are also TriHealth patients. You can receive your vaccine when you bring your children to our office.

We ask that you please print a copy of the flu vaccine questionnaire for each person who will be receiving the flu vaccine. Please complete this questionnaire and bring it with you at your scheduled appointment time (see link below).

Please arrive at your scheduled appointment time, not early or late - this allows less people to be in the waiting room area and also to give our staff enough time to clean exam rooms in between scheduled appointments.

We hope everyone is having a safe and healthy start to fall!

Sincerely,
The physicians and staff at Trihealth Queen City Pediatrics
