Keep yourself and your family safe by getting your flu shot. Adults 65 and older are at higher risk for serious flu complications as the immune system weakens with age, especially for those living with chronic conditions.

đź“Ť Where to get your flu shot:
• Rainier Beach Neighborhood Clinic
• Martin Luther King Jr. Community Health Center (MLK Jr. Way S)
• Local Pharmacies like Safeway, Walgreens, & CVS: many offer walk-in flu vaccines

No appointment needed in many locations. Just bring your insurance info or ask about free/low-cost options.

Let’s keep our elders healthy and strong this season!
