Flu season is here, and protecting yourself doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. Hamilton Community Health Network is bringing free flu vaccines directly into the Flint community this November, making it easy to get protected close to home.
Whether you’re looking out for yourself, your children, your parents or a neighbor, getting a flu shot is a simple step that can help protect you and the people around you. And here’s the best part: The flu vaccines are FREE, and everyone is welcome! You do not have to be a Hamilton patient, and no one will be turned away because of insurance or ability to pay.

Why Get a Flu Vaccine?
Influenza, commonly called the flu, is more than just a bad cold. It can cause serious illness and lead to complications, especially for older adults, young children and people with certain health conditions.
Getting vaccinated each year helps lower your risk of getting sick and can reduce the chances of serious illness if you do catch the flu. It also helps protect the people around you who may be more vulnerable.
Protect Yourself and Someone You Care About
You don’t have to make a doctor’s appointment or travel far to take this important step. Choose the Neighborhood Wellness Center event that works best for you and stop by!
Better yet, share this information with a friend, family member or neighbor who could use a free flu shot. Sometimes a little reminder is all it takes to help someone take care of their health.
