Did you know that there are different strains (or versions) of the flu virus each year? That’s why it’s a good idea to get your flu shot annually — to protect yourself from the strains most likely to hit each season.

 

When to get your flu shot

 

You can protect yourself and those around you by getting your flu shot as soon as it’s available. Getting vaccinated before December will give your body time to build up resistance to the flu before it becomes common. This year, we recommend you take advantage of our walk-in flu shots from October 3 through November 30, 2016.

 

How to get your no-cost flu shot at Kaiser Permanente

 

Starting October 1, just walk in to any Kaiser Permanente medical office. Flu shots at our facilities will be available at no cost to Kaiser Permanente members while supplies last.

 

Flu shot clinics will be open Monday through Friday. To make it easier to plan, some locations will stay open until 6 p.m. For specific locations and hours, visit kp.org/flu or call our recorded flu hotline 24/7 at 303-344-7600 or 1-866-868-7091.

 

Mountain, Northern, and Southern Colorado members can also choose to get a flu shot at their network provider’s office or a retail location. A copay may apply.
