Influenza Vaccine
(Flu Shots)

Flu vaccine is given starting in the fall and, even though early vaccination is best, it is not too late to get the vaccine in December or even January. Once you get the shot, you should have good immunity within two weeks that will last for months. As of October 1st, 2009 Flu serum is not yet available. We anticipate delivery within the next few weeks. Please return to our website for updates of availability.

Flu season usually peaks in the late winter or early spring. Remember that the flu virus in the vaccine is dead and the flu shot CANNOT give you the flu! The flu shots given in our Family Care Clinics is supplied by the State of California and is free to our patients who qualify as part of the priority groups for the 2009-2010 season.

LIST OF PRIORITY GROUPS WHO MAY RECEIVE FREE FLU VACCINE
Individuals in the following groups are at the highest risk for serious flu-related illness and they should be first to receive the vaccine. These individuals should receive their flu shots in the fall and may get them as late as the end of December or as long as vaccine is available.

  1. Adults 60 years of age and older
  2. Children 6-59 months of age
  3. Children and adults with a chronic medical condition such as asthma, diabetes, heart or lung disease
  4. Pregnant women
  5. Household contacts of infants younger than 6 months, including brothers and sisters
  6. Out-of-home care givers of infants younger than 6 months

Individuals in the following group should also get their flu shots to protect themselves and those at highest risk for flu complications.

  1. Household contacts of children and adults at higher risk for influenza-related complications, including healthy children and adults
  2. Health care workers are one priority for flu vaccine because they care for the most vulnerable people so they need to stay healthy
