ST. LOUIS - Barnes-Jewish Hospital is expanding locations for their annual free flu shot campaign as they will provide free seasonal flu shots to people age 6 months and older throughout October. It is highly recommended that people receive the seasonal flu vaccine each year to protect the flu.

In 2009, over 35,000 people were vaccinated through these efforts and that amount is expected again this year, thanks to a donation from the Barnes-Jewish Hospital Foundation. Latex-free vaccines are available for individuals with latex allergies. All vaccine is preservative free. Flu shots will not be given to individuals who have had a previous allergic reaction to the flu vaccine, those with egg allergies or anyone who has ever had Guillian-Barre Syndrome. Please note not all sites provide pediatric vaccines.

Free seasonal flu shots are available at the following locations while supplies last. No pre-registration is required.
