Flu Immunization Shots in Boston: Aiport, University and Other Clinics
Protect Yourself Now and Have a Healthy Winter
- If you are student, check with your university health center. It will likely be a nominal fee or be free. This will be a convenient option for you since it's on campus. The health center may even be offering flu shots at various spots on campus - you may be able to get one when traveling your normal route between classes. If your insurance is through your parents, bring your insurance card just in case. It should be noted that it is likely that in the even of a shortage, the available immunizations will be reserved for those at high risk, such as those with asthma. If you have a risk factor, be sure to arrange to get the shot sooner rather than later.
