Flu Shot Information
The flu vaccine is recommended for everyone 6 months of age and older. Getting a flu shot is more important than ever as we are still battling the COVID-19 pandemic and although a flu shot won’t prevent COVID-19, it will help protect you and your loved ones from getting sick with the flu, and will reduce the burden of flu illnesses on hospitals and healthcare systems. Schedule your flu shot as soon as possible.
Patients age 65 years and older will be provided high dose vaccines, while supplies last. If the high dose vaccine is not available, we recommend that you get the regular dose and do not delay your vaccination.
Flu vaccines will be billed to insurance and documented in the patient’s medical record.
For the safety of our staff who are providing flu vaccines, no dogs please, even if you are receiving your flu shot in the car.
