Seasonal Influenza (Flu)

A flu vaccine is needed every year for two reasons. First, a persons immune protection from vaccination declines over time, so an annual flu vaccine is needed for optimal protection. Second, because flu viruses are constantly changing, the composition of flu vaccines are updated to protect against the viruses that research indicates will be most common during the upcoming flu season. For the best protection, everyone 6 months and older should get vaccinated annually.

Flu Clinic Schedule

Flu vaccine events include one day pop clinics providing flu vaccines in the community. Information about the flu vaccination events will be listed as it becomes available. Unless otherwise noted, all vaccination events offer free flu vaccines for everyone 6 months and older. For vaccine events please click one of the pictures below.
