Flu Vaccinations | Flu | UC Davis Health

All UC Davis Health primary care clinics are now offering flu vaccines to their regular patients. There are several ways you can get a flu vaccine from us:

• At some of our primary care clinic locations, you can schedule a drive-through flu vaccine appointment.
  
  • At these appointments, you do not need to get out of your car to get your flu vaccine.
  • Drive-through appointments are only for UC Davis Health patients ages 9 years and older, who have previously received a flu vaccine with UC Davis Health, 
  • Other restrictions apply; see below on this page for more details.

• If you have a regular primary care appointment coming up at any of our primary care clinics, you can ask to receive a flu vaccine during that appointment.
  • When you arrive for your appointment, please tell the clinical staff that you are also seeking a flu vaccine that day.

• If you are scheduling an appointment to get an updated COVID-19 vaccine through UC Davis Health, you can also get your flu vaccine at that same appointment.
  • When you arrive for your appointment, please tell the clinical staff that you are also seeking a flu vaccine that day.
  • Important note: You cannot add the COVID vaccine to a scheduled flu vaccine appointment when you arrive for that appointment. This is because of the special way that COVID vaccines must be handled.

• At some of our primary care clinic locations, you can schedule an appointment to get your flu vaccine during an in-person visit to your primary care clinic.

The most convenient way is to use MyUCDavisHealth:

• Click “Schedule an Appointment”

Other ways you can typically schedule a flu vaccine with us:

• Call UC Davis Health’s Consumer Resource Center at 800-2-UCDAVIS (800-282-3284)
• Call your primary care clinic

UC Davis Health patients ages 9 years and older, who have previously received a flu vaccine with UC Davis Health, can schedule a drive-through flu vaccine appointment at the following locations and dates:

• Elk Grove: Oct. 5, Nov. 2, and Dec. 7, 2024
• Rancho Cordova: Oct. 19, Nov. 16, and Dec. 21, 2024
• Roseville: Oct. 12, Oct. 26, Nov. 9, Nov. 23, and Dec. 14, 2024

Drive-through flu vaccine appointments can generally be scheduled for these time slots, but please confirm when you make your appointment:

• Between 8:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.
• Between 1 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Important notes about our drive-through flu vaccines:

• We cannot give COVID-19 vaccines or boosters at the drive-through flu vaccine clinics. See how to schedule an updated COVID vaccine.
• The driver must be 18 years or older.
• Pediatric (child and adolescent) patients must be accompanied by their parents or guardian.
• Pediatric patients under age 9 can not receive the flu vaccine from us at a drive-through appointment. 
• If this is the first time you or your child has ever received a flu vaccine, please do not get the vaccine through a drive-through appointment. This is because there is no ability to monitor for potential adverse effects from a first-time flu shot at a drive-through appointment. 
• Only four passengers per vehicle.

If you are not a UC Davis Health patient, our flu resources page has more ways to get a flu vaccine.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) states that there is no recommended waiting period between getting a COVID-19 vaccine and other vaccines. You can get a COVID-19 vaccine and other vaccines, including a flu vaccine, at the same visit.
