Flu Vaccine Locations

Where to Get Vaccinated

Check with your doctor first or try these options: 

  • Vaccine Finder. Check in advance about cost. Influenza vaccine is typically covered by health insurance
     
  • Doctors participating in the California Vaccines for Children Program offer no cost vaccines to eligible children 18 years old and younger 

Medical providers are taking every precaution to keep you safe, wherever you plan to get vaccinated.

  • We understand you may feel a little uneasy about coming into the doctor’s office, pharmacy or flu clinic this year. Hospitals, clinics and other settings across the state have taken additional safety measures to ensure patients are safe when getting vaccinated.
  • Additional safety measures include​​​​​ separating appointment times for sick and healthy patients, masking requirements, additional disinfecting between appointments, physical distancing in waiting areas and many other measures to make sure patients stay safe. Some clinics offer drive-through services, so you can get care without leaving your car.
