Public Health has flu and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines available for all eligible adults and children 6 months and older through immunization clinics. See the vaccine clinic page.
At this time, Dakota County does not carry the high-dose flu vaccine. High-dose flu vaccines are a type of vaccine approved for people age 65 and older.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone six months and older get an updated 2023-2024 COVID-19 and a yearly vaccination to protect against seasonal flu. For best protection, flu vaccine is usually given in the fall before flu season starts. You can get it anytime during flu season, which can last as late as May.
Other steps to prevent the spread of the flu and COVID-19 include covering your cough, washing hands frequently and staying home when sick.
Seasonal flu vaccine and the updated COVID-19 vaccines are available at many locations in the community. Check with your health provider or local pharmacy.
