Along with Halloween, autumn leaves, and a looming season of gift-buying, flu season is upon us and there is no point in ignoring it. If you haven’t had a flu shot yet, airports are making it easier than ever to get one before you travel.

In addition to a slew of other airports we’ve told you about, both airports in Chicago have announced that they will also be administering the vaccines. Staff from the University of Illinois at Chicago Medical Center have set up kiosks at all of the domestic terminals at O’Hare International Airport, and the main concession areas of Midway International Airports.

Flu shots cost $35 per person, and no appointment is required. The kiosks are open Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. – 5 p.m., and are offered until the end of December.
