Get your flu vaccine! Please click the link in the clinic table below or call the Health Department to schedule your appointment.

With the ongoing presence of flu, COVID—19 and monkeypox, your immune system may have a lot to fight off. It is more important than ever to stay current on your flu vaccine. Flu viruses are constantly changing, and an updated vaccine helps ensure that your immune system can fight the current forms of the flu and prevent severe illness.  

There are two ways to receive a flu vaccine from the Health Department: 

1. Schedule an appointment at the Health Department's Government Services Center clinic. 
2. Schedule an appointment at a school or community-located clinic.  

Select flu clinics will have COVID-19 booster vaccines available for people to receive at the same time as their flu shot. However, we cannot guarantee at this time that the we will have enough supply of the new boosters for every clinic. If you are interested in receiving the new booster vaccine at a flu clinic, we suggest you book your appointment for a booster using the same flu clinic registration link. You may book one appointment to receive both flu and COVID-19 vaccines at the same time. Administration of the new boosters will be determined on the day of each clinic and will be dependent on stock and eligibility.

The supply of Moderna bivalent booster vaccine is limited compared with the Pfizer bivalent supply. We will have Pfizer boosters for individuals ages 12 years and older at our flu clinics in addition to the flu vaccine. We will have a limited amount of Moderna bivalent booster vaccine for individuals ages 18 years and older at our Government Services clinic while supplies last. 

The single most effective protection against flu is getting a flu vaccine. It is recommended that all people aged 6 months and older receive a flu vaccine every year. A person’s immune protection from vaccination declines over time, so an annual flu vaccine is needed for optimal protection.  

Please note: There is currently a delay in shipment for the Flublock vaccine. An announcement will be posted on this webpage once it is in stock. Individuals who would like to receive this vaccine should continue to visit this page for updates.
