No one likes getting sick.
But every year, respiratory virus season means more coughing and sneezing. One of the best ways to protect yourself and those close to you is by receiving your annual flu shot and COVID-19 vaccine.
Both shots help prevent infection—and if you do get sick, they can lessen your symptoms and help you recover more quickly.
Even getting vaccinated late is better than never: respiratory virus season can last up until late spring. We offer flu shots and COVID-19 vaccines all season long at JCPH.
Bring flu shots to your crew.
Make it easy for your students, residents, or employees to get their flu shots! We offer on-site vaccine clinics for organizations.
Vaccines are subject to our normal pricing for clinical services, and most insurance plans are accepted. Request more information below:

“Why do I need a new flu shot each year?”
Each year, new variants of the flu emerge, and scientists work to develop a flu vaccine that offers the best possible protection against these new strains of the virus. That’s why everyone ages 6 months and older should get an updated flu shot.
“How can I know if I have the flu?”
Whether you feel sick or you’re about to gather with others, testing for the flu is the surest way to know your status. We offer free flu and COVID-19 test kits at JCPH and at Bluebox vending machines. No appointment necessary!
