Get Your Flu Shot!

Flu vaccine is here! The CDC recommends that everyone ages 6 months and older receive a flu shot every year. The flu season typically starts in October and runs into March. Influenza is a serious, contagious disease that can cause hospitalization and sometimes even death.

This year, we will have regular Quadrivalent flu vaccine along with High Dose for the elderly. The Flu Mist is not available this year due to CDC recommendations.

Get your flu shot scheduled today! We are offering multiple dates for our flu clinics in Sept and Oct at both of our locations. If you have an appointment with your provider coming up, you may also get your flu shot during that appointment.

Call our office at (859) 278-5007 to schedule today.
