Getting vaccinated not only protects you, it also keeps you from spreading the flu to others who can get seriously ill – including pregnant women, young children, adults 65 years and older and people with chronic health conditions.
Child care workers and children attending a licensed daycare are required by state regulations to receive a flu shot each year by December 31*
Suggested flu vaccine providers:
Rhode Island Free Clinic

Rite Aid Pharmacy
The Wellness Company
Your primary care physician
The flu vaccine becomes available in the fall.
*Child care workers can be exempted from required immunizations for medical reasons only. A medical exemption certificate must be signed by a medical provider.
