FORT WAYNE, Ind. (ADAMS) – Super Shot says that the 2025–2026 Allen County Flu Fighter results are in, and our community has a major win to celebrate. This past flu season, Allen County saw a 10% increase in flu vaccinations compared to last year, representing 10,527 more residents who chose to protect themselves, their families, and their neighbors.
Super Shot put out the following:
Getting an annual flu vaccine is one of the simplest ways to prevent serious illness. Higher vaccination rates mean fewer hospitalizations, fewer missed school and workdays, and fewer vulnerable community members facing complications from the flu.
Approximately 26% of Allen County residents receive their annual flu shot. The national Healthy People 2030 goal calls for 70% of individuals ages 6 months and older to be vaccinated each year. The Allen County Flu Fighter Campaign, led jointly by Super Shot and the Allen County Department of Health, aims to move our community steadily toward that benchmark.
The campaign brings together health systems, pharmacies, schools, businesses, nonprofits, churches, and other partners to expand access, increase awareness, and build trust in flu vaccination. This collaborative approach is already making a measurable difference.

To keep the momentum going, next fall’s Allen County Flu Fighter Campaign Kickoff will be bigger than ever. The entire community is invited to Parkview Field on Friday, September 18, 2026, from 1–4 p.m. to receive their flu shot and help launch the new season of protection.
