Flu shots will be available at more than 300 Concentra Urgent Care locations across the country. Concentra recommends annual flu vaccination as the principal method for preventing seasonal influenza, along with routine hand washing and proper health habits to stay healthy and well during the flu season. The company is also scheduling flu vaccine clinics at employer worksites across the nation to assist employers in keeping their employees safe and healthy.

In addition to seasonal flu vaccines, Concentra also anticipates providing H1N1 (swine flu) vaccines to patients and employers, as available per CDC regulations. The seasonal influenza vaccine does not protect against the H1N1 (swine flu) virus, and patients will need a separate vaccine to prevent the H1N1 (swine flu) virus. Although specific dates have not been established for when H1N1 (swine flu) vaccines will become available from the manufacturers, Concentra is working directly with state health departments to obtain the vaccine and provide customers with timely and efficient protection.
