Dayton Children’s has flu shots available and is encouraging everyone 6 months and older to get theirs by October 31 for the best protection. Getting vaccinated at least two to three weeks before flu season starts is key to staying healthy this season.

“We’re excited to offer flu shots at Dayton Children’s and our five Kids Express locations, in advance of this year’s flu season,” said Lisa Ziemnik, MD, division chief of Dayton Children’s Kids Express and urgent care. “We know what matters most to families is keeping their children healthy and having access to the flu vaccine in a way that is quick, convenient and done by caregivers that know kids. We hope families choose Dayton Children’s to get their vaccine this year."

To get your child’s flu vaccine, parents have several options:

  1. Call your child’s pediatrician (always the best option)
  2. Go to Dayton Children’s pharmacy, main or south campus (ages 5 years - 21)
    • Flu shots will be available for 5 and 6-year-olds at Dayton Children's pharmacies beginning October 24.
