 If you cannot attend, we encourage you to obtain a flu shot at your local pharmacy.

Due to the pandemic, walk-in flu shots will NOT be available at SMA this year.

 

*For the 2022-2023 flu season, there are three flu vaccines that are preferentially recommended for people 65 years and older. These are Fluzone High-Dose Quadrivalent vaccineFlublok Quadrivalent recombinant  flu vaccine and Fluad Quadrivalent adjuvanted flu vaccine. This recommendation was based on a review of available studies which suggests that, in this age group, these vaccines are potentially more effective than standard dose of flu vaccines. There is no preferential recommendation for people younger than 65 years.
