Flu Shot/Vaccine

Influenza, or the flu, can be a deadly virus.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC ) estimate that during every flu season in the United States since 2010, influenza has resulted in:

• 9 million – 45 million illnesses
• 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations
• 12,000 – 61,000 deaths

A great deal of that disease burden could have been prevented with a simple flu shot.

At our CCBH clinics, we offer the flu shot so that you and your family can be protected throughout the flu season.

Walk-in flu clinics

Each year in October and November at the beginning of flu season, we hold walk-in clinics. Visit us during these times:

Parma clinic at 5550 Venture Drive – every Wednesday from 8-11 a.m.

Warrensville Heights clinic at South Pointe Hospital, 20000 Harvard Avenue – every Friday from 830 a.m. to noon.

Walk-ins are taken on a first-come, first-served basis.

Appointments

During the remainder of flu season, we also accept walk-in appointments or we can schedule a time for you to come in for your flu shot.

Please call us at 216.201.2041 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to make your appointment.

No insurance? No problem. CCBH has affordable options for clients lacking current medical coverage.

Tips to stay healthy during flu season

• Wash your hands often
• Cover your mouth and nose with your elbow, not your hand, when coughing or sneezing
• Don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth
• Avoid close contact with sick people
• Stay home from work or school if you are sick
