 Flu Shot

FLU SEASON - October traditionally starts the annual season for health care organizations to begin offering the influenza vaccine.  Some facilities are beginning to open their flu clinics and others are planning to open by late October, early November.  As times and dates become available, they will be posted to this site.

For more information about available clinics, please visit:

Watch here and throughout the VA for dates and times for other clinics in coming weeks.

Flu Facts:  If you are allergic to the flu vaccine due to having an egg allergy or other reasons, a "preservative free" vaccine is available.  It is recommended that everyone get the flu vaccine every year because flu strains can and do change every year.
