Flu Shots & Vaccinations

Why It's Important: 
The single best way to protect against the flu is to get vaccinated each year. Everyone 6 months and older should get vaccinated.

Protecting yourself against disease or the flu is important. FastMed Urgent Care clinics offer walk-in flu shots and vaccines with our primary care providers, 7 days a week.  We make it fast and convenient to get the vaccines and flu shots you need. Our services are for both children and adults, and are covered by most insurance carriers. Whether you need a routine seasonal immunization or you have an infant or a child heading off to college, Neighborhood Clinic offers a comprehensive range of vaccines and the current flu shots. Please call your nearest FastMed location to confirm vaccine availability.

  • Children younger than 5 years of age, and children of any age with a long-term health condition like asthma, diabetes or disorders of the brain or nervous system.
  • Adults who are in close contact with children younger than 5 years old (people who live with them).
  • Adults who are out-of-home caregivers (nannies, daycare providers, etc.) of children younger than 5 years old.
