Flu Vaccines

Flu Vaccines at Corner Health Urgent Care

Each year, influenza (the flu) affects millions of people, causing everything from mild discomfort to serious illness. The best way to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your community is with an annual flu vaccine. At Corner Health Urgent Care, we make it simple, affordable, and convenient to get your flu shot.

The Importance of Flu Vaccination

The flu vaccine is the most effective tool in preventing the spread of influenza. Benefits include:

• Protection from illness: Reduces your risk of getting sick with the flu.
• Milder cases: If you do get the flu, symptoms are often less severe.
• Community safety: Protects vulnerable groups such as children, seniors, and those with chronic conditions.
• Annual coverage: The vaccine is updated each year to match current flu strains.

Who Should Get the Flu Shot?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a flu shot every year for nearly everyone six months and older. Vaccination is especially important for:

• Adults over 65
• Children under 5
• Pregnant women
• People with weakened immune systems or chronic medical conditions
• Caregivers and healthcare workers

When to Get Vaccinated

It’s best to get your flu shot before flu season begins, ideally in September or October. However, it’s never too late — getting vaccinated later still provides protection throughout the flu season.

Flu Shots for Different Age Groups

• Adults under 65: Standard quadrivalent flu shot.
• Adults 65 and older: High-dose or adjuvanted vaccines may be recommended for stronger protection.
• Children: Pediatric-appropriate flu vaccines are available.

Our medical staff will recommend the right vaccine based on your age and health history.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Getting a flu shot at Corner Health Urgent Care is quick and easy:

• Check in with our front desk team.
• Receive the vaccine from a licensed medical provider.
• Optional short observation period afterward.
• Leave with documentation for personal, school, or employer records.

Most visits take only 15–20 minutes.

Insurance & Self-Pay Options

Most insurance plans cover flu shots at no additional cost. If you don’t have insurance, we offer affordable self-pay options so cost isn’t a barrier to staying healthy.
