Urgent care

Flu shots and vaccines

A vaccine teaches your body to fight an infection before you are exposed to it. The flu shot is updated each year because flu viruses change, so a new shot is recommended every flu season. It cannot give you the flu.

Reasons to get a flu shot

Lowering your chance of catching the flu
Protecting babies and older adults around you
A long-term condition such as asthma, diabetes or heart disease
Pregnancy
A job or school that asks for it

Trouble breathing, swelling of the face or throat, widespread hives, a fast heartbeat or fainting after a vaccine can be a severe allergic reaction. Call 911.

What to expect

Walk in
No appointment is needed for a flu shot. For other vaccines, call first to ask what is available.
A few questions
Staff ask about allergies, past reactions to vaccines and how you feel today.
Your shot
The shot is given in the upper arm. Ask for a record of your vaccine if you need one for work or school.

Common questions

Can the flu shot give me the flu?

No. Some people have a sore arm, mild aches or a low fever for a day or two.

When is a good time to get a flu shot?

Early fall is ideal, but getting it later in the season still helps as long as flu is spreading.

Which other vaccines do you have?

Supplies change, so please call (708) 529-7109 to ask which vaccines are available.

Can I get a flu shot if I am sick?

With a mild cold, usually yes. If you have a fever or feel quite ill, the provider may suggest waiting.

Can my child get a flu shot here?

For babies and young children, please call first at (708) 529-7109.
