Lurie Children’s Home Specialties & ConditionsChicago Area Pediatrics Flu/RSV/COVID-19 Season 2024-25

Chicago Area Pediatrics: Influenza (Flu), RSV, COVID-19 - Season 2024-25

Influenza (Flu) Updates

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends the annual flu vaccine for children 6 months of age and older. Getting the flu vaccine can reduce illness, antibiotic use, missed school and work, hospitalizations, doctor visits, and death caused by complications from the flu.

How to Get a Flu Vaccine at CAP

Schedule a flu vaccine appointment in MyChart or call the CAP office at 312.227.1160. We will continue to add appointments throughout the season as supply allows.

Flu vaccines will be available at scheduled well visits, appropriate sick and follow-up visits, and other vaccine visits.

We are happy to add siblings to any scheduled office visit to get their flu vaccine. 

Flu vaccine appointment availability may vary throughout the season based on supply and staff availability. We will continue opening new appointments as more vaccine deliveries  arrive. Please continue to check MyChart regularly if you do not see an immediate appointment available.
