Flu Shot FAQs
1What is the flu, and why should I vaccinate myself against it?
Otherwise known as influenza, this contagious illness impacts your nose, throat, and lungs. The most common symptoms include fever, chills, sore throat, cough, nasal congestion, body aches, and headaches. Some children and older adults may also experience vomiting or diarrhea.
Because influenza can appear suddenly and result in hospitalization in vulnerable individuals, it's vital to protect yourself and those around you each year with an annual flu shot.
2Can I get a flu shot at a Seva Pharmacy in Rockaway, NJ?
Yes, we have flu shots available beginning in mid-August at Seva Pharmacy, located at 179 US Highway 46, Suite 13, Rockaway, NJ 07866.
3How do I schedule a flu shot in Rockaway?
Scheduling your flu vaccine at Seva Pharmacy is quick and easy. Simply book online or contact us at (973) 957-3007 for an appointment. Walk-in flu shot appointments may also be available.
4How much does a flu shot cost in Rockaway, NJ?
Our flu shots in Rockaway, NJ are free with many major insurance plans.
5Is there a flu shot for seniors who are 65+?
Yes, because adults 65 and older are at an increased risk of developing complications, accounting for 50-70% of the flu-related hospitalizations each year. There are enhanced flu vaccines available for seniors that help support a stronger antibody response. Please note that increased pain, redness or swelling around the injection site is common.
6When should I get the flu shot?
The CDC recommends getting your flu shot before it becomes widespread in late fall. Peak flu season runs between October and March. Getting your flu shot each year also helps guard against influenza mutations.
7Do you offer other vaccination services?
Absolutely. Seva Pharmacy is committed to keeping up with the latest vaccines, including updated COVID-19 immunizations, so your family is always protected in Rockaway, NJ.
8Do you accept my insurance?
Yes, you'll find that we accept most major insurance plans. We also assist patients in navigating coverage and exploring affordable medication options, including generic alternatives and manufacturer discounts.
9What should I do if I experience side effects from my flu shot?
While some pain, chills, and minor redness or swelling at the injection site is common, you should contact your pharmacist immediately if you:
- Experience severe allergic reactions such as difficulty breathing, hives, or dizziness
- Have a high fever lasting more than 48 hours
- Notice unusual swelling, rash, or numbness in your arm
- Experience persistent or worsening symptoms after several days
