TAMPA, Fla. — It's not too late to get your flu shot. Florida Blue is teaming up with Walgreens to offer free flu shots at four locations across Tampa Bay on Saturday.
There are no-cost clinics available at Florida Blue Centers in Pinellas, Hillsborough, Polk and Sarasota counties, as well as locations across the state.
Saturday’s clinic will be 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. with vaccines available anyone age 18 or older, even if they have health insurance through another provider or do not have health insurance coverage at all. Everyone getting a flu shot at a Florida Blue Center will get a $5 Walgreens gift card--while supplies last.
Thousands of people died during last year's flu season. Children and the elderly are most at risk, according to health officials.
This clinic is for people 18 and older. Parents should take their children to the doctor or local health department for their vaccine. It takes two weeks to build up the immunity from the shot.
There are Florida Blue Centers across the state including five locations in Tampa Bay:
Westshore, 201 North Westshore Blvd., Tampa
Shoppes at Park Place, 3758 Park Blvd North, Pinellas Park
University Town Center, 285 North Cattleman Road, Sarasota
Winter Haven Colonial Promenade, 385 Cypress Gardens Blvd., Winter Haven
