Flu Vaccination Clinics

This year's vaccine covers all expected flu strains, so no additional vaccinations should be necessary.

Dartmouth Health is offering the adjuvanted Fluad vaccine for adults 65 and older and the trivalent Afluria vaccine for those younger than 65 years. If you are a recipient of a solid organ transplant, we recommend and offer the adjuvanted Fluad to adult patients of any age.

To learn more about these vaccines, please refer to the Different Types of Flu Vaccines web page on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website.

Vaccines are provided at low- or no-cost wherever possible, and financial assistance options are available.

Who should get the seasonal flu vaccine?

The CDC recommends annual vaccination against influenza for all persons aged six months and older, including all adults.

Children between the ages of 6 months and 8 years should receive a second dose at least 4 weeks after their first vaccination.

Additional information about influenza vaccination is available on the CDC website.

Flu myth quiz

Are you flu savvy? Take this quiz and see how well you can tell flu fact from flu myth.

True or False: You can't get the flu from the flu vaccine.

  • True: The flu vaccine contains dead or inactivated flu virus, and cannot cause infection, so it is impossible to get the flu from the vaccine. The vaccine works to prepare your body to fight off infection from the live virus. A person may get a fever and body aches after getting the flu vaccine, but this is most likely the immune system reacting to the vaccine or an unrelated viral infection.

True or False: The flu vaccine significantly reduces your risk of getting the flu and passing it on to your family and friends.

  • True: Flu viruses change every year. The flu vaccine is updated to include current viruses from year to year. So get the flu vaccine every year to protect yourself and your friends and family.

True or False: The flu vaccine is safe for pregnant women, seniors and children over six months of age.

  • True: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the flu vaccine for everyone older than six months of age. The only reason not to get the vaccine is if you have had a severe reaction to the flu vaccine in the past.
