The best way to protect against the flu is for everyone six months and older to get vaccinated — every year. We expect to have flu shots available by early fall; check back here to book your flu shot online when available.
Need a flu test? If you experience flu symptoms like fever, chills, or body aches, it's best to book an appointment to get a flu test. You can book a Same-Day or Next-Day Illness & Injury visit with your regular ARC doctor or any other doctor via your ARC MyChart account or at any ARC After Hours Clinic. Test results are usually ready in your ARC MyChart within 24 hours.
