Flu shots

Scripps offers adult and pediatric flu vaccines. The West Coast Health Alliance and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend the annual flu vaccine for everyone older than 6 months, with rare exceptions. The vaccine is especially important for pregnant women, adults older than 50 and anyone with a chronic medical condition.


Flu shots are available for Scripps Clinic and Scripps Coastal Medical Center patients at their primary care doctor’s office. Call your primary care doctor’s office to schedule an appointment. 


Note: At the start of flu season every year, Scripps also offers convenient “flu clinics” to help meet high demand for flu shots in San Diego. Dates will range from September through December. Appointments are required. Check this page each flu season for flu clinic dates.
