National Influenza Vaccine Week 2022

December 5-9


Have you received your annual flu shot yet? There is still time to protect yourself and your loved ones from flu with a flu vaccine, the only vaccine that protects against flu.



Do you need a COVID-19 or flu test or vaccine?

If you are a patient at JPS:

JPS patients can use MyChart or call 817-702-1100 to schedule an appointment with their PCP.

If you are NOT a patient at JPS:

Those needing COVID-19 testing or vaccines can visit tarrantcounty.com to find a location nearest you.


CDC recommends that people ages 5 years and older get one updated (bivalent) booster that protects against the original COVID-19 variant and the new variants if it has been at least two months since their last COVID-19 vaccine dose.


People who have gotten more than one original (monovalent) booster that only protects against the original COVID-19 variant are also recommended to get an updated (bivalent) booster to get protection from new variants also.
