Use the map below for information on the availability of flu vaccine in your area. The map will tell you how to contact your local health department and tell you when vaccine clinics are planned in each county and in major cities.


H1N1 Flu Vaccine

Missouri is receiving daily shipments of vaccine to protect residents from the H1N1 flu and ample supplies are available throughout the state. The vaccine is now available to everyone.

For more information about the decision to make vaccine available to all age groups, click here.

Seasonal Flu Vaccine
So many people received this year’s vaccinations early that supplies of seasonal flu vaccine have been depleted at many public clinics. Significant supplies, however, are still available at many private health care providers. Therefore, please contact your regular physicians or health care professionals to determine whether they have the vaccine available. You can also contact your local health department to find out whether it still has seasonal flu vaccine available. The local health department also may be able to direct you to local providers who have the vaccine available.

Vaccination is the best way to avoid the flu. You should also these take simple steps to limit the spread of the flu virus:

  • Wash your hands frequently;
  • Cover your mouth and nose when you cough, and cough into your elbow, not your hands;
  • Stay home when you are sick. If you have flu-like symptoms, remain at home until 24 hours after your fever subsides to avoid spreading the virus to co-workers, fellow students or others in the community.
