During the EXPRESS Flu Clinics and throughout the month of October, PhysicianOne Urgent Care is offering no-cost* flu shots at all centers in Connecticut for privately insured or self-pay patients over the age of 5.

“As a result of the record-breaking flu season last year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is urging patients to get vaccinated early this year. The best time to get a flu shot is before November, when flu season starts to pick up. The antibodies in the flu vaccine take approximately two weeks to be effective against the flu virus, so it is important to be vaccinated before flu begins spreading in your community.” says Dr. Jeannie Kenkare, Chief Medical Officer and co-founder of PhysicianOne Urgent Care.

PhysicianOne Urgent Care flu clinics will offer patients “express” check-in, minimal waiting time and the ability to be in and out in minutes.

“We want to help make it easier for people get vaccinated this year, which is why we are offering these flu clinics,” says Kenkare, “We understand that people are busy and having to schedule an appointment for a flu vaccine might deter patients from getting one. So, we are happy to offer these clinics to allow patients a quick, easy and safe option for receiving their flu vaccine.

PhysicianOne Urgent Care has hours that extend beyond the normal primary care provider hours, and has locations across Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Westchester County, New York. Walk in or check in online to any PhysicianOne Urgent Care location, seven days per week.

Please note, Medicaid (including Husky and CT, NY, and MA state) patients under 19 years of age cannot receive a flu vaccination at PhysicianOne Urgent Care. Please call 1.855.349.2828 with any specific questions. In Connecticut, PhysicianOne Urgent Care will only administer the flu vaccine to privately insured patients five (5) years of age and older, due to laws related to the Connecticut Vaccine Program.
