Measles cases are increasing globally, including in the United States. The majority of measles cases imported into the United States occur in unvaccinated U.S. residents who become infected during international travel. A list of countries with confirmed measles outbreaks can be found on the Global Measles Travel Health Notice (THN). Measles spreads rapidly in communities that are not fully vaccinated and may pose a risk to international travelers in places not included in the THN.

CDC recommends all travelers get fully vaccinated against measles before traveling to any international destination.

We have Flu Shots!

The flu season is upon us, and the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones is to get a flu shot. Flu shots are safe and effective, and they can help prevent serious illness, hospitalization, and even death.

At Classen Medical Complex, we have flu shots available at all four of our local Norman and Moore locations:

• Classen Family Medicine Norman
• Classen Urgent Care Clinic Norman
• Classen Family Medicine Moore
• Classen Urgent Care Clinic Moore

Our friendly and experienced staff can answer any questions you have about the flu shot and help you get vaccinated quickly and easily.

Why is it important to get a flu shot every year?

The flu virus can change from year to year, so it’s important to get a flu shot every year to protect yourself against the latest strains. The flu shot is especially important for people at high risk of complications from the flu, including:

• Children under 5 years old
• Adults 65 years old and older
• Pregnant women
• People with certain chronic health conditions, such as asthma, diabetes, and heart disease

When should you get a flu shot?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone get a flu shot by the end of October. However, it’s not too late to get a flu shot even if it’s already the flu season. The flu can circulate until May, so it’s important to get vaccinated as soon as possible.

How much does a flu shot cost?

Most insurance plans cover the cost of flu shots. However, it’s always a good idea to check with your insurance company to be sure. If you don’t have insurance, we offer affordable flu shots to everyone.

CONTACT US TODAY to schedule an appointment for your flu shot.

You can schedule an appointment for your flu shot by calling our office, or by stopping by one of our locations. We also offer walk-in appointments, but scheduling an appointment ahead of time will help ensure that you are seen quickly.
