Fairway Children's Medical Group, which is honored to serve the families in Diamond Bar and West Covina, is making it simpler than ever to get your kids flu shots starting early this season. Every year, parents experience anxiety during flu season, especially when schools and public areas turn into hotspots for the spread of viruses. For this reason, we believe that the most effective defense is preparation. We're assisting families in protecting their children's health before flu activity starts to increase by providing flu vaccines before it's too late.
A simple act that can have a significant impact is being vaccinated against the flu. Your child is less likely to miss school, events, or family gatherings later in the season if they are protected ahead of time. Our compassionate staff makes sure the procedure is easy, quick, and stress-free so parents can rest easy knowing their kids are in good hands.
Because your child's health deserves the best start to every season, Our Providers and the rest of the team, will make this action simple.
Why take action now?
- Take action before cases arise.
- Maximize the protection of your child, as it really matters most.
- Peace of mind for you and for your loved ones.
Why The Flu Keeps Happening?
Flu feels distant because of seasonality.
Despite the fact that flu cases typically peak in California between late December and February, the current low activity level makes the illness seem less urgent.
In California, summer flu activity usually stays low, but if it begins to increase even slightly, a delay in taking action may indicate more risky seasons to come.
Every year, flu season comes, despite the best of intentions. If you're not prepared, your family may be caught off guard. Although flu activity in California is now low, historical trends indicate that things can-and frequently do-heat up by late fall into winter. As of August 15, 2025, seasonal influenza activity is still low, although this is usually a part of an anticipated trend that precedes a winter surge, according to the CDC's Respiratory Illnesses Data Channel.
Parents wait too long for warning signs before taking action.
The number of cases frequently increases rapidly when people begin showing flu-like symptoms, or when siblings, classmates, or coworkers start to become ill. This occurs because coughing, sneezing, and even touching common surfaces are easy ways for the flu to spread. Others in the surrounding area may have already been exposed by the time symptoms start to show up in one person. Early prevention and vaccination are even more crucial since it gets more difficult to break the chain of transmission as diseases spread throughout homes, workplaces, and schools.
Lack of awareness about the upcoming rise.
News and media organizations have a tendency to shift their focus from the virus over the summer, making it appear less serious. Many families do not get the reminders they require to respond quickly as a result. Parents frequently wait too long and miss the best window for flu vaccination-when it provides the strongest protection-if they are not aware of it in a timely manner. It gets more difficult to stop the spread by the time flu rates start to rise in the winter.
