  • Insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, and/or HMO card
  • Proof of income (W-2, check stub)
  • Personal ID (driver license, birth certificate, social security card, etc.)

What Shots Do You Need

Flu Immunization

Who Should Get a Flu Shot?

Everyone 6 months and older should get a flu shot every year.

Vaccination is particularly important for people who are at high risk of serious complications from flu:

  • Adults over 65 years of age
  • Young children
  • People with chronic health conditions
  • Pregnant women

The flu vaccine is also very important for people who have close contact with people who are at higher risk for complications for the flu.
