Even though we were unable to get the Covid test due to too recent possible exposure, Doctor Keebler came up with a plan for when we could so that we could get the vaccine in 7 days if we were negative. He spent time with us and explained his reasoning.

The staff is really friendly when you walk in speak to the first person, she's always really happy and very personable, and she remembered my name from my previous visit. I was really impressed with that, cuz how many people does she see, every single person that comes in there she sees.. The nurse that brings you back to your room is always happy and chatting with you and smiling and a good mood. The building is always super clean, and the staff was very knowledgeable about the reason I was there for. Mike is wonderful he is extremely knowledgeable, extremely professional, very personable. I can't say enough nice things about Mike. I've been going to his walk-in clinic for 20 years at least, and he's always the same way even after 20 years. Overall my experience with Urgent Care Express is absolutely a five star. No question about it, I wouldn't go to any other walk-in clinic in town. I have gone to a different walk in clinic because I couldn't get into Urgent Care Express with and it was horrible horrible experience the only person that was really friendly there was the person that takes your blood pressure and ask you questions about your medication and the reason why you're there. But I will never go back there, that's how bad it was. So you should be really proud that we have Urgent Care Express & that's right run by Mike f.

Same-day and next day appointments for flu shots are bookable directly through Solv. Simply search for a Midland-area doctor, find a provider, and book a time that aligns with your schedule stating “flu shot” as your reason for visit.
Everyone 6 months or older should get vaccinated for the flu every year. Influenza, or the flu, is a serious virus and infection that hospitalizes and kills thousands of people annually. And it is constantly changing. The flu vaccine is the best way to protect yourself and your family from contracting the virus.
Flu vaccines are needed annually, primarily for two reasons. First, the flu virus is constantly evolving, meaning the virus you received a vaccine for last year is unique from the virus in the upcoming season. As such, the vaccine itself needs to be different. Second, the vaccine itself wears off and your immune system’s response to the flu virus decreases over time. Unless you receive the vaccine every year, you will lack necessary immunity.
Each year is a little different, but flu season generally starts as early as September. Getting a flu shot early in the season - August to October - gives your buddy the best opportunity to build up immunity to the virus as it does take roughly two weeks for the vaccine to protect you against infection. Of course, if you are unable to get the flu shot early, getting a flu shot later still helps as the virus could last through May.
Each year, the CDC and other organizations conduct studies to determine the effectiveness of the flu vaccine against that years flu virus. According to the CDC, recent studies show that flu vaccination reduces the risk of flu illness by between 40% and 60%. Of course, there are multiple types and strands of the flu virus including influenza B and influenza A(H1N1), as well as influenza A(H3N2). Generally speaking, flu shots tend to work better against influenza types A & B.
The flu vaccine lasts for one flu season as the virus constantly evolves and each year the vaccine is produced to specifically protect against the strand(s) that are prevalent in the upcoming flu season.
Depending on where you get your flu vaccine, what type of vaccine you are getting, and whether or not you are insured, flu shot costs vary. Generally speaking, however, flu shots can cost between $0 and $50, sometimes more.
