Where to Get Your Flu Shot

Reducing your risk for catching the flu and COVID-19 is important, especially as the weather gets colder and more time is spent indoors.

Laura Morris, MD, family medicine physician and MU Health Care’s vaccine committee co-chair said the best way to protect yourself from the flu and COVID-19 is to get vaccinated.

Morris recommends that everyone age 6 months and older get a flu and COVID-19 vaccination in September or October, but if you miss that window, you can be vaccinated anytime during the season.

You can get a flu shot at the same time as a COVID-19 vaccination. There is no need to space the two vaccinations.

Other Flu Shot Options

  • Anyone age 6 months or older can receive flu and COVID-19 vaccines at an existing appointment at many of our MU Health Care clinics. If you need to establish care, please contact a primary care clinic.
  • Patients of our pediatrics clinics may schedule an appointment to receive flu and COVID-19 vaccines.
