Flu vaccines are available at no cost, regardless of insurance status.

Which Flu Vaccine is Right for You?
Flu vaccines are not one-size-fits-all. Your age, health history, eligibility, and personal preference can affect which options are available.
Not sure which one to choose? That’s okay. Our pharmacists can help.
FLUCELVAX®
Ages 3–64
Cell-Based Flu Vaccine
An injectable flu vaccine produced using cell-based technology rather than the traditional egg-based manufacturing process.
Good to know: This is one of our primary flu vaccine options for children and adults.
FLUAD®
Ages 65+
Enhanced Flu Vaccine for Older Adults
Fluad is an adjuvanted flu vaccine specifically designed for adults age 65 and older.
The added adjuvant helps create a stronger immune response in this age group.
FLUMIST®
Ages 5–49*
Needle-Free Nasal Flu Vaccine
Don’t love needles? FluMist is administered as a nasal spray instead of an injection and may be an option for certain eligible children and adults.
*FluMist is not appropriate for everyone. Eligibility is reviewed before vaccination.
NEW: MODERNA mFLUSIVA®
Ages 50+
New mRNA Flu Vaccine
mFLUSIVA is the first FDA-approved mRNA-based influenza vaccine in the United States and provides eligible adults another flu vaccine option for the 2026–2027 season.
COMING SOON TO SKIPPACK
We plan to be among the community pharmacies offering mFLUSIVA and will update this page as soon as our first shipment is received.

Not Sure Which Flu Vaccine to Pick?
You don’t need to memorize vaccine brands before coming in.
Tell us your age, health history, preferences, and any concerns you have. Our pharmacists can review the available options and help you understand which age-appropriate vaccine may be right for you.
BRING THE WHOLE FAMILY
One trip. Multiple generations. A little less to coordinate.
Children, parents, grandparents, and caregivers can all receive age-appropriate flu vaccines at Skippack Pharmacy.
When scheduling, simply choose appointment times close together and our team will do our best to vaccinate your family together.
Have a baby or toddler?
We also offer flu vaccination for eligible children 6 months through 2 years old during designated clinics when one of our nurses is present.
Appointments are required for children under age 3.
A More Comfortable Way To Get Vaccinated
Vaccines can be stressful. We get it.
Skippack Pharmacy has a private, sensory-friendly vaccine room designed to provide a quieter and more comfortable vaccination experience away from the main pharmacy floor.
We regularly work with children and adults who may have:
• Needle anxiety
• Sensory needs
• Autism or developmental disabilities
• Mobility concerns
• Previous difficult vaccine experiences
• Other accommodation needs
If you or your child may need additional time or accommodations, let us know before your visit so our team can prepare.
There's a New Flu Vaccine This Year
NEW FOR 2026–2027: mFLUSIVA®
Moderna’s mFLUSIVA® is the first FDA-approved mRNA flu vaccine in the United States and is approved for adults age 50 and older.
Skippack Pharmacy plans to offer mFLUSIVA during the 2026–2027 flu season, giving eligible adults another option when choosing their annual flu vaccine.
What Makes mFLUSIVA Different?
mFLUSIVA uses mRNA technology to help your immune system recognize and respond to influenza. It is given as a single injection for the season and does not contain egg protein, antibiotics, or preservatives.
For adults who became familiar with mRNA vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic, this brings that same type of vaccine technology to seasonal influenza vaccination.
Is mFLUSIVA Right for Me?
mFLUSIVA gives adults age 50+ another flu vaccine choice, but it is not necessarily the best option for everyone.
Your age, health history, previous vaccine experiences, personal preference, and the other flu vaccines available should all be considered.
Our pharmacists are happy to review the options and help you choose an age-appropriate flu vaccine that fits you.
COMING SOON TO SKIPPACK PHARMACY
We’ll update this page as soon as our mFLUSIVA supply arrives and is ready for vaccination.

Can I Get the Flu & COVID-19 Vaccine at the Same Time?
Yes, you can receive the flu and COVID-19 vaccination during the same visit. CDC has confirmed the safety of administering both vaccines for adults and children 5 and up at the same visit, but at different injection sites.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who should get a flu vaccine?
Annual influenza vaccination is recommended for most people age 6 months and older who do not have a contraindication.
Does Skippack Pharmacy vaccinate children?
Yes. We offer age-appropriate flu vaccination for children. Children under age 3 require an appointment during one of our designated nurse-supported vaccine clinics.
Can my family come together?
Yes. Families are welcome to schedule together. Complete an appointment for each person and select appointment times as close together as possible.
Can I get FluMist instead of a shot?
FluMist may be an option for certain eligible patients. Because it is a live attenuated vaccine, it is not appropriate for everyone. Our pharmacy team can review your eligibility.

Yes. Skippack Pharmacy plans to offer mFLUSIVA for eligible adults age 50 and older during the 2026–2027 flu season. We will update this page when our supply has been received and is ready for appointments.

Yes. Through our community initiatives and Superheroes Fund, Skippack Pharmacy provides flu vaccines at no cost regardless of insurance status.
Do I need an appointment?
Appointments are recommended because completing your information ahead of time helps make your visit faster. Walk-ins are also welcome Monday–Friday from 10 AM–6 PM and Saturday from 10 AM–2 PM. Children under age 3 require an appointment during designated nurse-supported clinics.
I'm afraid of needles. Can you help?
Absolutely. Tell us when scheduling. Our private vaccine room and sensory-friendly resources can help create a more comfortable experience.
