Getting Your Flu Shot Is More Important Than Ever

Take your best shot at preventing the flu this year. The flu vaccine is a safe and effective way to prevent contracting the flu and spreading it to others. Getting a flu shot will help protect you, your family, and your community.

UPMC offers flu shots at many convenient locations. Our facilities have precautions in place to help ensure safe access to the care you need — especially the flu shot.
