The ideal time to get your flu shot is early fall, before flu season peaks, typically by the end of October. However, getting vaccinated later can still offer protection.
If your cold symptoms are mild and you don’t have a fever, it’s generally safe to get the flu vaccine. For a more severe illness, it’s best to wait until you’ve recovered.
Most people experience little to no side effects. Some may have mild soreness at the injection site, slight fever, or fatigue, which usually resolve quickly.
We provide flu vaccinations for children of appropriate ages, ensuring protection for the whole family.
Flu vaccines typically take about two weeks to build full immunity after the shot.
No appointment is needed. We welcome walk-ins, but you can also book your flu shot online for added convenience.
Flu shots are typically covered as a preventive service by most insurance plans. Our staff will verify your coverage to help ensure your vaccination is billed correctly and efficiently.
New patients can use their health insurance for flu vaccinations. During check-in, our team verifies benefits to make the process seamless and confirm any applicable copays or coverage details.
We accept insurance for flu shots when your plan is in network. Bringing your insurance card allows our team to submit claims accurately and help maximize your coverage.
