Are you ready for cold and flu season?

Getting a Flu shot protects you and those around you.

You can catch a cold or the flu any time of the year, but it is more common in the fall and winter. Help prevent the spread of the flu by getting your annual flu vaccination. Getting a flu shot helps decrease the chances of getting the virus and the severity of it. It also helps you feel better sooner than if you didn't get the flu shot.

Worried about COVID? The CDC recommends a 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine for most adults ages 18 years and older. This includes people who have received a COVID-19 vaccine, people who have had COVID-19, and people with long COVID.

Schedule your flu and COVID vaccines at any of our four convenient locations. Our care team is ready to help you prevent illness.
