Reminder that you may choose to receive a COVID booster shot (third dose).  You can schedule an appointment for your booster through your Duke MyChart account, on DukeHealth.org,or by calling 919-385-0429 (Monday to Saturday, 8:00 am to 6:00 pm). You can also visit our walk-in vaccine clinics and receive the booster vaccine without an appointment. 

You can also schedule an appointment to receive your flu vaccine. It is safe to receive doses of the flu and COVID-19 vaccines on the same day. Doing so does not change the effectiveness of either vaccine or cause more side effects. The vaccines can be given during the same appointment or during two separate appointments.
