Annual Flu and COVID Vaccinations

The risk of catching the flu or COVID increases in the last few months of the year. Older adults who get infected can become seriously ill and may even require hospitalization.

The vaccinations are free. You can choose to have only the COVID vaccine, only the flu vaccine, or both.
