COVID 19 UPDATE
6/15/2022

Hooray!  Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines are now approved for children over 6 months!
Dr. Andrade's kids are vaccinated!
The FDA and CDC have now approved the Covid-19 vaccine for all children ages 6 months and above.  CHLA and Miller Children's Hospital will both be offering vaccination clinics at the main hospitals as well as the local Torrance satellite offices soon. Appointments are now available throughout Los Angeles County through
https://myturn.ca.gov/.  Make sure you carefully review the locations listed to be sure your child's age group is offered.  I am excited to finally have a vaccine available to our youngest.

Current changes to our pediatric office due to COVID 19:
-To reduce exposure to our healthy patients and our community at large, we have made some adaptations in the office. Clean up time between visits takes longer. Please be patient as the office flow is not the same as it used to be. 
-Masks are still required for everyone in our office over 2 years old regardless of vaccination status.
-For your appointment, it is best if you call from your car and wait there until an exam room is available.
-We will do curbside exams from your car when appropriate (existing patients only).
-We are now offering telemedicine appointments, by appointment only, to our existing patients only.  Telemedicine visits are similar to "facetime" via your computer or smartphone.  We are using a HIPAA compliant site called doxy.me   Further instructions will be given upon making your telemed appointment.  Note that pediatric telemedicine is much more difficult than adult care- we cannot check ears or listen to lungs, but other appointments may be appropriate.
-Please note that information about COVID 19 is changing daily for all of us.  Please know that we are giving the best and most accurate up to date information available.
-Please limit the number of caregivers at each appointment.
