Why get the flu shot?

Protect yourself and your family by getting your flu shot!

It is best to get it early before the flu viruses begin spreading in the community.  The flu shot will prevent you from getting seriously ill from the flu and having to go to the hospital.  The flu vaccine does not cause the flu. The COVID vaccine protects you only against COVID and does not protect you against the flu.

There are many places to get a flu vaccine:

Many pharmacies and groceries, such as Walgreen’s, CVS, Lucky’s, Target, and Safeway offer the flu vaccine without an appointment. 
Please remember to bring your ID card and medical insurance card.  Call in advance to check supply, age requirements, and if they accept your insurance.

In solidarity with over 100 community partners across the US, Asian Health Services mobilized under the One Nation Coalition in 2018 to fight against the harmful Public Charge Rule change and to promote immigrant rights and access to health care.
In 2005, Asian Health Services established the California Healthy Nail Salon Collaborative to address workplace and reproductive health issues faced by low-income Vietnamese immigrant and refugee workers. In 2016, AHS worked successfully to co-sponsor and pass the California Healthy Nail Salon Bill (AB2125).
In the early 2000s, AHS led a local campaign called "Revive Chinatown" to make Oakland Chinatown safer, more pedestrian-friendly, and economically viable. That resulted in the installation of the four-way scramble crosswalks with other lighting and sidewalk improvements in the Chinatown commercial core.
The 1978 passage of Proposition 13 threatened to eliminate crucial funding to community based organizations. AHS worked in collaboration with local community groups to galvanize our patient base to protest Prop 13 cuts. As a result of community mobilization and protests, AHS preserved critical funds at the County level, which enabled community groups to continue serving the medical needs of the AAPI community.
