Description

Over the past 13 years, Florida Hospital Centra Care, with Get Healthy Florida, has provided over 200,000 free flu shots to Florida residents. This year, they are doing it again by offering local opportunities to get your flu shot, fast and free.

Event Details

(No reservations. First come, first served, while supplies last.)

“To combat last year’s unexpected flu strain, this year’s flu vaccine has been strengthened for broader protection,” says Centra Care President & Senior Medical Director Scott Brady, MD. “We want to remind Floridians that the single best protection against the flu is the flu shot, even for healthy children and adults.”

Who Should Be Vaccinated?
The CDC recommends an annual flu vaccine for everyone, especially those who are at high risk for developing flu-related complications. Including:

Pregnant women
Children younger than 5, but especially younger than 2 years old
People 50 years of age and older
People of any age with certain chronic medical conditions
People who live in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities
People who live with or care for those at high risk for complications from flu, including:
Health care workers and household contacts of children less than 6 months of age (these infants are too young to be vaccinated)

For those unable to attend one of the Fast & Free Flu Shot events, Centra Care offers convenient, $25 shots, 7-days a week at their 28 Florida urgent care centers; open late and weekends. Walk in anytime, or visit www.centracare.org to schedule an online No Wait Reservation.
