Move over Toothfairy, there’s a new fairy in town, the Shotfairy. Loaded with lollipops and syringes to give kids their vaccinations while they sleep. The concept was first thought of by Peggy McKeever; a nurse that works for Dr. Scott Hanlon at Evergreen Medical, Ltd; several years ago as a way to give her kids shots without a fuss. Dr. Hanlon tried it on his three boys and found it was a quick and easy way to immunize without the anxiety so many kids go through in his practice. So from this concept came a business plan; Dr. Hanlon, his wife Colleen, Peggy McKeever and Jim Navarre founded ‘Shotfairy.com’; with a plan to offer safe and convenient vaccination services for the entire family in the comfort of your home. Children ages 2-6 are vaccinated after they go to sleep and wake up with a lollipop under their pillow; a great way to get the kids their state required preschool/
kindergarten vaccines.
At this time the services are only offered in the Evergreen Park community and Dr. Hanlon’s South Loop area with plans to expand throughout Chicago in the future and appointments are scheduled on-line only.
Shotfairy.com, a state-licensed service, offers a wide variety of routine vaccines for children, teens, adults and seniors given by a licensed registered nurse. Along with the “sleep time service” they also offer adult/senior “flu shot party” with wine and cheese, individual and group home vaccines, and corporate flu shots at your place of business, at low and discounted prices and provide appropriate documentation for your doctors office and insurance company.
