Dear valued patients: 

Please stay safe this holiday season. We are still seeing many COVID-infected people needing help. We're also seeing cases of the common cold (rhinovirus) and influenza (the flu).

COVID alerts

  • Vaccine and Boosters
  • Mixing and matching vaccine types is fine, according to recent reports.
  • At Southwellness, we offer J&J and Pfizer vaccines and boosters. Here are the eligibility criteria for boosters
  • If you work or live in a high-risk setting, you may be eligible for a booster.
  • Vaccinate your kids!
  • Ages 12 and over are eligible now.
  • We expect to have the ability to vaccinate 5 to11-year-olds in November too.
  • Here is the latest research about COVID vaccines for children.

  • We are available for consultations and the FDA emergency use authorized treatment with REGEN-COV2 monoclonal antibodies.

Flu Season is Here!

  • Co-Infection with COVID and influenza during winter is a huge threat.  
  • Research on this indicates a possible 5x increase in mortality risk if you get infected with both.
  • Here's more information about the "double whammy."
  • If you have any symptoms, please get seen and tested as early as possible.
  • Get your flu shot ASAP. You can go to your local pharmacy. If we start offering flu shots at our offices, we'll let you know.
  • We do, however, test for flu. I recommend that my patients get influenza testing along with their COVID test. Any urgent care or primary care office should also be able to test you if you ask.

Wearing a mask remains the #1 safety tip. 

Especially with holiday travel on the upswing, we need to remain smart and vigilant. Here are the CDC's travel tips. 
Again, PLEASE come in EARLY for testing and evaluation if you have any cold or flu symptoms. 

Don’t forget that with COVID, all FDA EUA testing and treatment, consults, ER visits, hospitalizations, and all the rest are covered even without insurance, due to the CARES act.

The fear of medical expenses shouldn't prevent or delay you from seeking help. 
Our team is standing by to help you today or answer any of your questions.
