You can schedule your flu shots during one of the following dates and times:

None of our flu vaccines contain latex or thimerosal (mercury) based preservative. They do not contain live virus; therefore, you cannot get the flu from the flu vaccine. However, some people may experience mild “flu like” symptoms following a flu shot that can last 1-2 days. It takes approximately 2 weeks to develop protection following vaccination. Flu is spread by coughing, sneezing and close contact. Best prevention is handwashing and a flu shot!
