My post two weeks ago about finding free and low-cost flu shots has become the most popular post on this blog. (It even managed to kick the DIY laundry detergent post from its number-one position.) Clearly, people are interested in finding out frugal ways to get their flu shots this year.
Since I’m still collecting information about free flu shots, I decided to do this second post that includes even more ways you can get free or low-cost flu shots in the next few weeks.
- In New York City and more than 20 markets across the country, CVS Caremark is offering vouchers for free seasonal flu shots to the unemployed. These vouchers are being distributed by Seedco, a non-profit organization. The vouchers can be redeemed with proper identification at scheduled CVS/pharmacy in- store flu clinics, and on-demand, every day at MinuteClinic health centers located in select CVS/pharmacy retail stores. You can also call 1-888-FLU-SHOT (888-358-7468) for more information.
- In Los Angeles the Clorox Company will host a free flu clinic at the South Central Family Health Center (SCFHC) on Wednesday, October 21st, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The flu shot clinic is open to the entire community.
- You can get free flu shots in Baltimore; check out this Baltimore City Health Department website for more information–and a schedule–of free flu shot clinics.
- The American Lung Association has a flu shot clinic search engine on its website. While it doesn’t let you know if shots are free or not, at least you can easily locate where you can get a flu shot near where you live or work.
I would also recommend searching the website of local colleges, universities, health departments, insurance companies and medical centers to see if you can uncover additional flu shot clinics. I’ve started to hear that these clinics may be running out of flu shots because of the high demand–this worries me since I still haven’t gotten my daughters a flu shot; I got mine two weeks ago. So don’t delay if you’re serious about getting a flu shot this year.
If you know of other resources for free or low-cost flu shots, please include a link in your comment.
