FARGO, N.D. – Sanford Health is now offering the influenza (flu) vaccination to patients 6 months and older at all Fargo metro area primary care clinics. In addition, all Sanford specialty care clinics are also offering vaccinations, and patients will be offered the flu vaccine during any regular Sanford visit.
A flu vaccine at Sanford Health can protect the public from getting sick and protecting the people around them. The CDC recommends annual flu vaccines for everyone 6 months and older, especially those at higher risk of complications including pregnant women, older adults and young children.
Sanford Southpointe Clinic will be hosting a flu vaccine event on Saturday, Oct. 7 and Oct. 14 from 9 a.m. to noon, and Boo to the Flu will be held on Saturday, Oct. 28 from 9 a.m. to noon.
Patients can call 701-234-8830 to schedule an appointment. In addition, several Sanford clinic locations will be holding individual flu vaccine events. Find an event near you at sanfordhealth.org.
The monovalent COVID-19 booster vaccine as well as the RSV vaccine/immunization will be available at Sanford clinics in the coming weeks. More information on these preventive options will be sent at a later date.
Patients can get a flu vaccine at their primary care clinic or by scheduling an appointment through My Sanford Chart.
