Flu Shot Clinic

BCBSRI hosts free local Flu Shot Clinics

Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island recognizes that receiving a flu shot is one of the easiest and most effective ways to prevent getting the flu this season.

Vaccination of high risk persons, including young children, pregnant women, people with chronic health conditions like asthma, diabetes or heart and lung disease, and seniors 65 years and older, are especially important and can decrease their risk of severe flu illness that could lead to hospitalization – and even death.

That’s why it’s important to get the flu shot as soon as the 2014-2015 vaccine are available, which is NOW! It is safe and the most effective way to prevent the flu.
