Flu vaccines for Seattle Children’s patients for the 2025-2026 flu season are now available.

Flu vouchers are available to family members and household contacts from September 29, 2025, through June 30, 2026.

Who can get a flu vaccine at Seattle Children’s locations?

Flu vaccines are available for patients who are:

Staying overnight in the hospital
Coming to Urgent Care, the Emergency Department or a clinic visit at most Seattle Children’s locations, Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic or Richmond Pediatrics
Coming to the Seattle hospital campus or Seattle Children’s Bellevue Clinic and Surgery Center for a surgical procedure

Where can family members get the vaccine?

Family members and household contacts ages 3 and older can get a flu vaccine voucher to use at a participating pharmacy (see information below).

Family members 6 months to 35 months old will need to get a flu vaccine at their primary care provider’s office. Visit Help Me Grow Washington or call 800-322-2588 if you need help finding a primary care provider in Washington state.

Vouchers for families in Alaska, Idaho, Montana or Washington state

Flu vouchers are available for family members and household contacts ages 3 and older at Albertsons-owned pharmacies in Alaska, Idaho, Montana and Washington state.

Find a location by calling 877-723-3929 or visiting Albertsons.com/vaccinations/location. (Albertsons owns several stores, including Acme, Albertsons, Carrs, Haggen and Safeway.)

If your child does not have an upcoming in-person appointment, visit or hospital stay, you can download the flu voucher (PDF) (Amharic, Arabic, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Somali, Spanish, Vietnamese).

If possible, bring a paper copy of the voucher with you when you get your flu shot. If you cannot print the voucher, participating pharmacies will accept the voucher if available on your mobile device.

How much does the flu vaccine cost?

Patients: The total cost to you depends on your insurance benefits and the type of vaccine given. For most vaccines, there is no out-of-pocket cost to you because many insurance plans cover the cost fully.
- If you are concerned about paying for vaccines or for any care at Seattle Children’s, you may apply for financial assistance online or by calling 206-987-3333.
- If you use a language other than English, call 866-583-1527, choose your language and ask to speak to the Financial Assistance Program.
Family members who have a voucher: Show your voucher at a participating pharmacy. They may bill your insurance. If your insurance does not cover all of the cost or you do not have insurance, the pharmacy will bill Seattle Children’s directly and there is no charge to you.

How can I access my voucher?

We can give you a paper copy of the voucher during your child’s appointment or visit to Urgent Care or the Emergency Department; during their hospital stay; or when coming to the Seattle hospital campus or Seattle Children’s Bellevue Clinic and Surgery Center for a surgical procedure.

You can also download a copy of the voucher (PDF) (Amharic, Arabic, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Somali, Spanish, Vietnamese).

Why does the Albertsons voucher list so many stores? Where can it be used?

Albertsons owns many stores across the country. The voucher will work at any of the Albertsons-owned pharmacies in Alaska, Idaho, Montana and Washington state. This includes Acme, Albertsons, Carrs, Haggen, Safeway and others.

Why do the vouchers include information on Tdap and COVID-19 vaccinations?

When redeeming the voucher, the participating pharmacy may also screen for and offer a Tdap or COVID-19 vaccine to family members. Family members who choose to receive a Tdap or COVID-19 vaccine using the voucher will not pay out-of-pocket costs for the vaccine, just like with the flu vaccine.
