The flu, also known as influenza, is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It spreads easily, especially in public places, through droplets when infected people cough, sneeze, or talk. The flu can affect anyone, but certain groups, like the elderly, young children, pregnant women, and those with weakened immune systems, are at higher risk for complications, such as pneumonia, bronchitis, and even hospitalization.
By being aware of flu symptoms and taking preventive measures, you can protect yourself and your community from the flu. Annual flu vaccinations and good hygiene practices, such as regular hand washing and covering coughs, are key to preventing the spread of the flu.
Flu shots are one of the best ways to prevent the flu and its potentially serious complications. We provide flu vaccinations at both of our locations to ensure you stay protected throughout the season.
The flu shot works by stimulating your body’s immune system to produce antibodies, which can fight off the flu if you are exposed to the virus.
By getting a flu shot, not only do you protect yourself, but you also help protect those around you, especially individuals who cannot be vaccinated or are more vulnerable to serious complications from the flu. At our Bushwick, Brooklyn, and Kew Gardens, Queens locations, we offer flu shots on a walk-in basis—no appointments needed. Stay ahead of the flu season by visiting us for your annual flu shot.

Sore throat: You may experience irritation or pain in the throat when swallowing.
Runny or stuffy nose: This can be mistaken for a cold, but it often accompanies other flu symptoms.
Muscle or body aches: Aching muscles, particularly in the back, arms, and legs, are common.
Headaches: Flu-related headaches can be intense and sudden.
