Where are flu shots given for children?
Flu shots for children can be given at a variety of locations, including:
- Doctor's offices: Most pediatricians and family doctors offer flu shots to their patients.
- Health clinics: Many health clinics, such as those run by the county or state health department, offer flu shots.
- Pharmacies: Some pharmacies, such as Walgreens and CVS, offer flu shots.
- Schools: Some schools offer flu shots to their students.
- Community events: Flu shots may be offered at community events, such as health fairs or back-to-school events.
It is important to note that children under the age of 6 months should not get the flu shot. Children who are 6 months or older can get the flu shot as long as they do not have any allergies to the vaccine or its components.
If you are unsure of where to get a flu shot for your child, you can contact your doctor or health department.
