Little shot. Big impact. Time for your flu shot.

Help protect yourself and others from the flu, and free up medical resources for other illnesses — like Coronavirus.

This year, your flu shot is more important than ever.

With just one shot, you can help protect yourself and stop the spread to others. Plus, you’ll be doing your part to help free up resources in doctors’ offices and hospitals that can be used to combat Coronavirus.

Your flu shot will help prevent illnesses & hospital visits

It can help keep you from getting the flu, and from passing the flu on to people around you. That means fewer trips to the doctor or hospital.
