Is it too late to get my flu shot? 💉

It’s never too late to get your flu shot! Even if flu season has already started, getting vaccinated now will still give you strong protection. The flu usually peaks later in the winter, so there’s still time to protect yourself and your family. Flu season often lasts into March and April, so don’t wait to get your shot.

Let our team take care of flu shots and routine immunizations for your entire family.
