How to Get Your Flu Shot at Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton

Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton will offer seasonal flu shots at its annual Community Seasonal clinic starting Monday, Oct. 17.

All TRICARE beneficiaries with a military I.D. can take advantage of the clinic and get a free flu vaccine.

The clinic will run from Oct. 17 to Oct. 21, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and will be located on the hospital’s 2nd floor lobby next to Pastoral Care.

The FluMist vaccine will not be available this year for TRICARE beneficiaries, according to the Hospital.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that everyone ages 6 months and older get the flu vaccine each year.

Flu shots will also be available at the hospital's primary care clinic immunization office later in the month, starting Oct. 24.

Flu vaccines may also be received at no cost from any TRICARE-authorized provider or at one of the TRICARE retail network pharmacies that participates in the vaccination program, according to the Hospital.
