Flu Shots at UCSF
Why get a flu shot?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a flu shot for most people age 6 months and older.
The flu vaccine reduces the risk of infection, hospitalization and death. See more facts about the flu, including why flu shots are so important, whether you're healthy or at high risk.
Special note about children: Kids ages 6 months to 8 years old who have never been vaccinated for the flu will need two shots, at least four weeks apart.
Flu shots at UCSF
We offer flu shots for UCSF adult and pediatric patients.
Our annual flu shot clinics are now closed. For protection throughout the 2025-2026 season, visit us next fall. See you then!
Your immunization history
Update us! UCSF keeps track of your immunization history. We understand that you may go somewhere else for your flu shot. If you get it at any UCSF facility, it will automatically be entered in your medical record. If you get your shot from another medical provider or a pharmacy, please notify us of the date and we'll include it in your UCSF medical record.
