Protecting Your Health
In deciding whether to schedule an in-person or telehealth, please be mindful of any symptoms you may have that could spread viruses to others. Please help us protect you and others from the spread of respiratory viruses. If you have a fever or chills, a cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, congestion or runny nose, diarrhea, or other symptoms that might indicate you have a respiratory virus, please do not schedule an in-person appointment. If you’re experiencing symptoms, please avoid scheduling an in-person appointment. Instead:
- Opt for a telehealth appointment
- Reschedule your visit for a later date
Thank you for helping us reduce the spread of viral infections. For updates, visit the CDC website.
