Where to Get a Flu Shot in Champaign-Urbana

Like it or not, flu season in Champaign-Urbana is just around the corner

Now, more than ever, it is important to get a flu shot. Getting a shot is the best way to avoid coming down with the flu, although maintaining proper hygiene such as washing hands frequently can go a long way, too. Those most vulnerable to the flu are the very young, the elderly, pregnant women and those with compromised immune systems.

In Champaign-Urbana, you can get a flu shot as early as this month at clinics, and some of the pharmacies are already offering it (but might not have it for children).

Thanks to Christie Clinic for presenting our 2023 guide to Where to Get a Flu Shot in Champaign-Urbana. Christie Clinic is providing convenient flu clinic options.

Anyone can get a flu shot as long as they do not have an allergy to eggs. These vaccines are covered by most insurance companies, but if a patient has questions they should check with their carrier.
