It's not grown in eggs like standard flu vaccines. It may be more effective against the influenza virus than standard flu shots, particularly for people over 65. Flublok® is approved for individuals who are 9 years or older. Use our online scheduler to check whether flu shots are available at your Odenton CVS.
