Finding a Flu Vaccination

Getting a flu vaccine every year is the best way to protect yourself and your family from illness, missed work and school, and serious health problems related to the flu. CDC recommends that everyone 6 months and older get vaccinated.

Call your doctor to ask which flu vaccine is best for you and check availability.

If you choose to go to a pharmacy or clinic, call ahead and ask: 1) Is the flu vaccine in stock, and what types do you offer?  2) What ages can you vaccinate? 3) Do you accept my insurance? Can you bill my insurance (most can bill) or do I need to pay and get reimbursed?  4) What are your pharmacy/clinic hours?
