We do not offer flu shots on their own. If you are scheduled for another vaccine, you can receive your flu shot.
Eligibility
Everyone 6 months and older should get a seasonal flu (influenza) vaccination each year. Seasonal flu vaccines are safe and the most effective way to protect yourself against getting sick.
To maintain your protection, you need a flu vaccine each year. It is best to get vaccinated in the fall, but you can be vaccinated through late spring.
Vaccination
TBHC patients may request a flu shot from their primary care provider at their next appointment, or can visit the Outpatient Pharmacy as a walk-in patient during their regular hours. They may also request a flu shot at the same time as receiving a covid vaccine or booster.
General Information
Flu (influenza) is a seasonal upper airway and lung infection that causes fever and a cough or sore throat. It is most common during the fall and winter months. Every year, about 2,000 New Yorkers die of seasonal flu and pneumonia, which can develop as a complication of the flu.
Vaccination is the best way to protect against the flu.
As the flu and COVID-19 are expected to circulate at the same time this season, getting a flu vaccine is more important than ever. Although the flu vaccine will not prevent COVID-19, it will help decrease the risk of you and your family getting sick and needing flu-related medical care.
