Flu Shots

Protect yourself and your loved ones this flu season with a fast and convenient flu shot at North Ave Immediate Care in Addison, IL. Our clinic offers same-day vaccination with minimal wait time for both adults and children.

Understanding Flu Shots

The flu shot helps your immune system recognize and fight the influenza virus. It's updated annually to target the most common strains and is especially important for children, seniors, pregnant individuals, and anyone with chronic conditions. Receiving your flu shot early in the season can reduce the risk of serious illness, missed work or school, and hospital visits.

Who Should Get a Flu Shot

  • Adults and children over 6 months old
  • Seniors aged 65 and older
  • Pregnant individuals
  • People with asthma, diabetes, or heart conditions
  • Healthcare and frontline workers

When to Seek Care

  • It's flu season (typically October through March)
  • You've missed your annual flu vaccine
  • You're in close contact with high-risk individuals
  • You need a shot for work, school, or travel
  • You want to reduce the risk of flu-related complications

Avoid strenuous exercises

Give your arm and body a chance to recover.

Monitor for rare side effects

Fever or fatigue may occur but should resolve quickly.

Get your shot annually

Protection fades over time—yearly shots are best.
