Facts about Flu

Flu season typically begins as early as October and continues as late as May. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is more important than ever that everyone receive a flu vaccination. Every flu case puts additional strain on our healthcare system at a time when we continue to face a surge of COVID-19 cases. It is very important to prevent the flu. This will help save lives and preserve healthcare resources.

A flu shot is recommended for anyone six months or older. Getting the vaccine not only protects you, but also protects those around you who may be more vulnerable to the virus, such as children and the elderly. Flu shots for children and High Dose shots for those over 65 years of age are available at our Sparrow Urgent Cares and select Walk-In Care locations.
