The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said we're in the worst flu season since 2009.

In fact, some Tampa Bay Area pharmacies are reporting a shortage of Tamiflu — the medication that decreases the duration and symptoms of the flu.

Beginning Wednesday, January 31 through Friday, February 2 from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. you can visit any Florida Hospital Centra Care Clinic to receive the free shot.
