Flu immunizations are now available for UC San Diego Health patients, including the high-dose flu vaccine recommended for people over age 65. Getting your flu shot early in the season is the best way to protect yourself against the flu this fall and winter.
How to Get Your Flu Shot
If you receive your flu shot from a provider outside UC San Diego Health, please update your
MyUCSDChart account so your doctor knows you're protected from the flu this season.
Drive-Up Flu Shots — By Appointment Only
UC San Diego Health patients ages 3 and up can be seen at the drive-up locations below with an appointment. Appointments will be scheduled for these times: 8 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. (closed 12 – 1 p.m.), Tuesday through Saturday.
To make an appointment, log into
MyUCSDChart and go to Visits, then select "Schedule an Appointment" and "Flu Vaccine (Drive Up)." If you don't have a MyChart account,
set one up or call 800-926-8273 for an appointment. Unscheduled arrivals will
not be accepted.
Note: Per CDC guidance, any driver who receives a vaccine will be asked to wait 15 minutes before leaving to monitor for adverse reactions and ensure that driving is safe.
