Can children receive flu shots at the clinic?
Most vendors will immunize older children – 9 to 12 years of age and older. If your group is interested in this, check with your vendor regarding the age they will immunize at a work-site clinic. Younger children – older than 6 months – can become immunized against the flu virus. Younger children need a different dose of vaccine than an adult, and they need to have a booster one month after the first flu shot. A young child’s regular health care provider is the best resource for these immunizations.
