ST. LOUIS — BJC Healthcare will host eight free influenza vaccine clinics this fall to help St. Louisans get protected from the flu.
For the 19th year, BJC is offering free shots for St. Louis area residents ages 6 months and older. Six flu shot clinics will take place from Oct. 1-13.
BJC is also partnering with the St. Louis Blues to hold flu shot clinics at the team's Sept. 29 and Oct. 4 preseason games at the Enterprise Center.
“By getting a flu shot, you are helping to protect yourself and the people around you from flu this season,” said Dr. John Lynch, president of Barnes-Jewish Hospital.
No appointments are required for the event at Enterprise Center, but appointments are required for all other events.
"Your flu vaccine and COVID-19 vaccine can be received in any order, with no need to space them apart," Lynch said. "Most importantly, get both."
