Flu Vaccination Events
The Howard County Health Department will offer FREE flu shots at various community events this fall. Below please find more information about the flu vaccines available and a listing of events:
- Vaccines available:
- Flulaval 2025-26 Formula, recommended for ages 6 months and older.*
- Sanofi Fluzone High-Dose 2025-2026 Formula, recommended for age 65 and older (available while supplies last).
- *High dose flu vaccine is preferentially recommended for adults 65 and over if it is available. If high dose vaccine is not available at an opportunity for vaccination, any other approved age-appropriate vaccine should be used.
- Both products meet the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s recommendations for flu vaccine composition this season, to protect against Influenza A (H1N1), A (H3N2), and B/Victoria lineage viruses.
- There is no need to wait to get your flu shot even if you recently received other shots.
- Individuals enrolled in Medicare are asked to bring their Medicare card to these events, to allow the Health Department to recover a portion of the cost. Billing is made directly to Medicare and there is no charge to the patient.
- Walk-ups are accepted at all Health Department flu clinic events. No pre-registration is required.
