Cold and flu season is approaching. The best way to protect yourself and others from severe flu and hospitalization is to get an annual flu shot.
Did you know? The 2024-2025 flu season in the U.S. was the most severe season since 2017-2018. It also had the highest number of people who were sick with the flu in the past decade. The flu vaccine is estimated to have prevented 240,000 hospitalizations last year.
If you have private health insurance, check with your primary care provider or local pharmacy for flu shot options. Bloomington Public Health will host several community flu shot clinics for individuals with limited access to flu shots.
Schedule your flu shot today at one of our community clinics at blm.mn/clinics. If you need help making an appointment, please call 952-563-8900 and select the option for flu vaccinations.
