Fight the Flu
Get your flu shot this year to stay healthy—getting the flu wears your immune system down, which is not a good thing in times of COVID-19! Flu vaccines will be more available than ever this year. Protect the vulnerable and get your shot!
If you have insurance, you can get your flu vaccination shot at your primary care doctor’s office, pharmacy, or urgent care clinic.

We are offering FREE Flu Shots for uninsured and underinsured individuals in Richmond and Henrico. Attend one of our flu vaccination events to get a flu shot (adults and children over 6 months).
