Cold/Flu Season Update

We are heading into the cold and flu season. As expected, we’ve seen lots of flu, COVID, RSV, Strep and stomach bugs these past months and last year. The OFD doctors and staff are greatly appreciative of the cooperation that we’ve had from our sick patients in using the dedicated parking lot spots near the back shed to keep germs outside of the building. This policy has managed to keep the OFD team, and the healthy patients that we see inside the building, largely free from illness. We feel fortunate that our practice layout allows for this strategy.

Our optional masking policy remains the same since we changed it in April 2023 and it seems to be working for most patients. We will continue to monitor the incidence of diseases in our community, and we continue to recommend routine vaccination for the vast majority of our patients.
