The Office of Research Services and the Clinical Center will provide free flu shots from Oct. 2 through Nov. 9 to staff with a valid NIH identification badge. 

Similar to last year, the vaccine will be given by appointment for all sites through an online registration system at https://www.foiltheflu.nih.gov.

Prepare for Your Appointment

Bldg. 10 Location: Parking is limited to Clinical Center occupants only. All individuals must wear a surgical mask at any flu clinic site and will be provided one upon entering any flu clinic. 

Do not arrive for your scheduled appointment time more than 10 minutes early to avoid creating lines at the check-in area.  

Wear clothing that allows easy access to the upper arm. Changing areas will not be available. 

NIH ordered both high-dose and the regular quadrivalent vaccines for all flu shot sites. Staff ages 65 and older can receive the high-dose vaccine. To learn more about the high-dose flu shot, visit https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/qa_fluzone.htm.
