Several St. Louis-area Esse Health offices are currently holding flu clinics for patients to receive the seasonal flu vaccine. Esse Health’s board-certified physicians follow the Centers for Disease Control’s recommendation that everyone six months of age and older should get the flu vaccine.

The office, located at 1011 Bowles Ave., Suite 450, Fenton, MO 63026, will offer the flu shots by appointment during their regular office hours. Appointments can be made by calling (314) 467-1500.

Getting the flu vaccine is the best protection against the seasonal flu, which is a contagious respiratory illness caused by flu viruses. Approximately 5-20 percent of U.S. residents get the flu each year, according to flu.gov, a website managed by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. The flu season is typically in the fall and winter, occurring as early as October.
