Wake County Public Health is offering a walk in seasonal flu vaccine clinic every Thursday in October and November. 

No appointment is needed but clients can speed up their visit by filling out a registration form ahead of time.

The flu vaccine can be taken as a shot or as a nasal spray.

There is no charge for the vaccine for:

• uninsured pregnant women
• children who qualify for the Vaccines for Children Program (VFC). To qualify they must be under 19 years of age and one of the following:  

• Uninsured or underinsured
• Medicaid recipients
• American Indian or Alaskan

If you have health insurance, most insurers cover the cost of flu vaccines at our clinics as part of preventive care. People who are 65 or older enrolled in Medicare Part B plans and most people on Medicaid can also receive their annual flu shots at no personal cost. Adults without insurance can pay $30 cash or check for a vaccine. There is also a high dose flu vaccine recommended for those over 65 years old for $60.

Wake County Public Health encourages everyone to get vaccinated against the flu – especially children ages five and younger, and adults 65 and older – because they’re at greater risk of becoming seriously ill from the virus. We also advise frontline workers, caregivers, first responders and people with underlying health conditions to get a flu shot.
