Arkansas Mass Flu Shot Clinics

It's time to start thinking about protecting yourself from the flu. The best way to protect yourself, besides practicing good hygiene, eating right and sleeping well, is with the flu vaccine.

Starting October 29, the Department of Health will be offering no charge flu shots at mass flu shot clinics. You can also get a vaccine at your local health unit. If you want to get it at your local health unit, the shot will cost you $20. They ask that you bring your insurance, Medicare and/or Medicaid cards with you if you have one to either clinic. The health department will offer the H1N1 (or swine flu) vaccine at the free clinics and at the health units as available. Clinic times and locations.

If your child (or you) have not received the flu vaccine and can't make it to a clinic, several pharmacies in the area will offer the H1N1 flu vaccine. The Walgreens at 4823 John F Kennedy Blvd (501-71-1971) will offer it, but doesn't have it currently. Kroger says some stores will have them as well.

Almost any area Walgreens or Kroger offers the seasonal flu vaccine. Call your favorite one for times and dates.

Be safe, stay clean and keep healthy!
