The best time to get your flu shot is from early September to late October. This timing offers maximum protection for the duration of the flu season, which typically peaks between December and February.

Everyone ages 6 months and older should get the annual COVID-19 vaccine. The ideal time to get vaccinated is before typical COVID-19 surges, which often occur in the fall and winter. For those 65 years old or older require an additional dose, spaced 6 months apart.

Eligible adults can get the RSV vaccine at any time, but the best time to vaccinate is in late summer and early fall, before RSV starts to spread in the community. This vaccine is not currently an annual vaccine

The link closes eight days prior to the clinic start date so that we can check insurance, order vaccines, and deliver them to the Immunization team.  Another reason the link isn’t working is the appointments may be full.

Table, chairs, garbage can.

The immunization team arrives 30 minutes prior to the clinic start time.

Registrants can walk in the day of the clinic with their insurance card, however, their insurance will need to be approved and this may slow down the clinic.

Yes! We are happy to schedule clinics throughout the year. It’s important that we have 8 days prior to the clinic so that we can check insurance, order vaccines, and deliver them to the Immunization team.

Patients who receive a 1^st dose of a vaccine that requires additional dose (ie. Shingles, TwinRx, Rabies, Hepatitis) are welcome to our weekly clinic in our Mt. Lebanon office OR – we can schedule a follow up clinic to come back to your site to administer the subsequent dose(s).

Our scheduling software will collect all insurance information prior to the clinic. Most insurance plans covers the standard flu shot. If a patient reserves any other vaccinations, Pathways will contact the patient directly if there is an out-of-pocket expense due to copays or deductibles.

Registration helps us to best plan for the number of vaccines, team members, etc. We welcome online and on paper registration.
