  2. Complete the digital consent form.
  3. Present your health insurance ID card at your appointment.

The flu vaccination will protect against the more likely causes of flu illness during the upcoming season, including the H1N1- strain of influenza. The vaccine is preservative-free.

The vaccine is not recommended if you:
