Free flu shots and COVID boosters available at Neighborhood Health locations

Neighborhood Health is offering both free flu shots and free bivalent COVID boosters to everyone at its clinics across Davidson County and in Lebanon. Neighborhood Health is unique in that these vaccinations are free for everyone, including those with health insurance and those without.

Neighborhood Health plans to make flu shots available throughout the 2022-23 flu season. Experts suggest getting the flu and COVID vaccines at the same time to save trips and scheduling headaches—plus, to build maximum immunity before the winter months when there is typically a spike in both illnesses.

Everyone over the age of six months is encouraged to get a flu shot this year, unless certain underlying conditions or allergies exist, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Appointments are required and may be made by calling 615-227-3000.

“We hope that everyone in the community will protect themselves and their loved ones and schedule an appointment to be vaccinated,” said Brian Haile, CEO of Neighborhood Health. “There are no restrictions as far as income or other requirements: We simply want to keep our community safe by providing access and availability to these vaccinations.”

Neighborhood Health has locations throughout Nashville, in Madison, and in Lebanon. Specific clinic locations and hours, telehealth visits, and more are available by visiting <www.neighborhoodhealthtn.org>.
