Updated flu and COVID-19 vaccines are available for the 2026-2027 season

October 07, 2026

The Institute for Family Health is now offering updated flu and COVID-19 vaccines!

These updated vaccines increase protection against the viruses, especially for newer strains and variants circulating this year. We continue to recommend that patients and community members six months and older stay up-to-date on their flu and COVID-19 vaccines, in alignment with New York State recommendations.

Flu vaccines:

  • Patients 6 months and older may get their flu vaccine at their regular primary care appointment or by scheduling a nurse visit.

COVID-19 vaccines:

  • Patients 19 and older may get the COVID-19 vaccine at their regular primary care appointment, by scheduling a nurse visit, or by scheduling via MyChart.
  • Patients 18 and under may get the COVID-19 vaccine by scheduling an appointment with their primary care provider.

To get your updated vaccines, call 844-IFH-APPT (844-434-2778) to schedule an appointment or visit MyChart.

If you have questions about flu and COVID-19 vaccination, talk your provider — we’re here to help.
