Profrea's 7 clinic locations across Gurugram offer convenient, doctor-supervised immunisation for adults — from annual flu shots to pre-travel vaccine packages.

Most of us associate vaccines with childhood immunisation schedules, but the reality is that immunity from several childhood vaccines wanes over time — and many infections pose a far greater risk to adults than to children. According to the World Health Organization, immunisation prevents 3.5–5 million deaths every year globally, yet adult vaccination coverage remains significantly lower than childhood coverage in most countries, including India.
In a city like Gurgaon — with its dense corporate campuses, frequent international travel, and year-round air-conditioned environments — adults face a distinct set of infectious disease risks. Seasonal influenza, typhoid, hepatitis A and B, and vaccine-preventable travel illnesses are all real concerns for working professionals and their families.
At Profrea, our General Medicine team — including Dr. Ladli Chatterjee (MBBS, MD, Fellowship in Diabetes & General Medicine, Royal Liverpool Academy, UK) — provides structured, evidence-based adult immunisation across all 7 clinic locations in Gurugram. Whether you need a routine flu shot or a comprehensive pre-travel vaccine assessment, you can access it close to home or work.
India's adult immunisation landscape has evolved considerably. The Indian Academy of Medicine and major clinical bodies now recommend a structured adult vaccine schedule that goes well beyond the annual flu shot. Here is a practical overview:
Influenza (Flu) Vaccine: Recommended annually for all adults, especially those above 50, pregnant women, healthcare workers, and people with chronic conditions like diabetes or heart disease. The flu virus mutates each year, which is why the vaccine is reformulated and re-administered annually.
Tdap / Td (Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis): A booster dose every 10 years is recommended for all adults. If you cannot recall your last tetanus shot, it is time to check.
Hepatitis B: A three-dose series is recommended for unvaccinated adults, particularly those in healthcare, or with multiple risk factors. Many adults in India remain unvaccinated.
Hepatitis A: Two doses are recommended, especially for adults who travel frequently or work in food-handling environments.
Pneumococcal Vaccine (PCV / PPSV23): Recommended for adults above 65 and for younger adults with chronic lung, heart, or kidney disease, or diabetes.
COVID-19 Booster: As per current national guidelines, booster doses continue to be recommended for eligible adults.
HPV Vaccine: Recommended for women up to age 45 and increasingly for men, to prevent HPV-related cancers.
Varicella (Chickenpox): For adults who have never had chickenpox and have not been vaccinated.
Zoster (Shingles) Vaccine: Recommended for adults above 50 to prevent shingles and its painful complications.
A consultation with a General Physician at Profrea in Gurgaon can help you identify which vaccines you are due for, based on your age, health history, occupation, and travel plans.
Seasonal influenza peaks in India during two windows: the post-monsoon period (October–December) and the winter months (January–February). Gurgaon's large working population and shared office spaces make it a high-transmission environment during these periods.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that all adults receive a flu vaccine every year, ideally before the flu season begins. The same principle applies in India, where the influenza virus circulates year-round with seasonal peaks.
At Profrea, flu shots are available at all clinic locations across Gurugram. You do not need a prior appointment for a standard flu shot — walk-in slots are available at most locations. Our doctors will conduct a brief pre-vaccination screening to confirm you are fit to receive the vaccine on the day.
Adults above 50 years of age
Pregnant women (any trimester)
People with diabetes, asthma, COPD, or heart disease
Healthcare and frontline workers
Frequent travellers — domestic and international
Caregivers of infants under 6 months
If you have been searching for a flu shot near me in Gurgaon, Profrea's multi-location network means there is almost certainly a clinic within a short drive of your home or office.
Key adult vaccines by category: routine annual, booster, and travel-specific immunisation.
Gurgaon is home to a large community of business travellers and expatriates who travel internationally throughout the year. Different destinations carry different infectious disease risks, and the vaccines you need depend on where you are going, how long you will be there, and what activities you plan to undertake.
Typhoid: Strongly recommended for travel to South Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Available as an injection (Vi polysaccharide) or oral capsules.
Hepatitis A: Recommended for most international destinations, particularly where food and water hygiene standards vary.
Yellow Fever: Mandatory for entry into several African and South American countries. A valid Yellow Fever vaccination certificate (issued at designated centres) is required at the port of entry.
Meningococcal Vaccine: Required for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims; also recommended for travel to sub-Saharan Africa's meningitis belt.
Japanese Encephalitis: Recommended for extended travel to rural areas of Southeast Asia and the Far East.
Rabies Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis: Recommended for travellers spending extended time in areas with limited access to post-exposure treatment.
Cholera Vaccine: Recommended for travel to high-risk areas, particularly for aid workers and long-stay travellers.
Ideally, a travel vaccine consultation should be scheduled at least 4–6 weeks before departure, as some vaccines require multiple doses or time to build immunity. Our General Medicine doctors at Profrea can review your itinerary and health history to recommend the right combination of vaccines and preventive medications (such as malaria prophylaxis).
For a personalised pre-travel health assessment, you can also book a video consultation through the Profrea app — convenient if you are travelling at short notice and cannot visit a clinic in person.

Profrea operates as a structured, doctor-managed clinic network — not a pharmacy counter. Here is what the immunisation experience typically looks like at one of our Gurugram clinics:
Pre-vaccination screening: A brief consultation with a General Medicine doctor to review your medical history, current medications, allergies, and any contraindications.
Vaccine selection: The doctor recommends the appropriate vaccine brand and formulation based on your age, health status, and travel plans.
Administration: The vaccine is administered by a trained clinical professional in a clean, supervised environment.
Post-vaccination observation: You will be asked to wait for 15–20 minutes to monitor for any immediate adverse reactions — a standard safety protocol.
Digital record: Your vaccination is recorded in your Profrea health profile via the app, making it easy to track upcoming boosters and share records with employers or immigration authorities.
For corporate clients, Profrea's corporate portal allows HR teams to organise on-site or clinic-based flu vaccination drives for employees — a growing trend among Gurgaon's tech and finance sector companies. Speak to our team about corporate immunisation packages.
Our General Medicine team also includes experienced physicians available across Gurugram who can address any questions about vaccine safety, efficacy, or scheduling during your consultation.
Certain groups require more careful vaccine planning. At Profrea, our multi-specialty network means that patients with complex health backgrounds can receive coordinated advice:
Flu and Tdap vaccines are recommended during pregnancy. Our Gynecology team — including Dr. Soma Kumari (DNB Obstetrics & Gynecology) — can coordinate vaccination as part of antenatal care.
People with diabetes are at higher risk of complications from influenza, pneumococcal disease, and hepatitis B. Dr. Ladli Chatterjee, our General Physician and Diabetologist, routinely incorporates vaccination review into diabetes management consultations at Profrea's Sector 45 and South City-I clinics.
Seniors benefit from the flu vaccine, pneumococcal vaccine, and shingles (zoster) vaccine. Our General Medicine doctors can conduct a comprehensive vaccine review as part of a broader health screening. Explore our Profrea Health Screen packages, which can be combined with an immunisation review.
While this article focuses on adult vaccination, Profrea's Pediatrics team can advise on catch-up vaccination for children and adolescents who may have missed doses. Our paediatric doctors in Gurugram are available for consultations at multiple clinic locations.
Yes — at most Profrea clinic locations, walk-in slots are available for standard flu vaccinations during clinic hours. However, for travel vaccines that require a more detailed consultation (especially multi-dose schedules or Yellow Fever certification), booking an appointment in advance is recommended to ensure adequate time with the doctor and vaccine availability.
You can book appointments via the Profrea mobile app, the website, or by calling your nearest clinic directly. Smart In-Clinic Consultation slots — which offer a more structured, pre-planned consultation experience — are also available at select locations for those who prefer a comprehensive immunisation review.
For routine annual flu shots, simply walk in, present your ID, and our clinical team will handle the rest — including a brief health check before administration.
The influenza (flu) vaccine is the primary annual vaccine recommended for all adults in India. Other vaccines — such as Tdap, Hepatitis B, and Pneumococcal — are given on a schedule rather than annually. A General Physician can review your vaccination history and advise on what you are due for.
Profrea offers flu vaccinations at all 7 of its clinic locations across Gurugram, including Sector 45, South City-I, and Sector 52. Walk-in slots are available at most locations during clinic hours. You can also book via the Profrea app.
The vaccines you need depend on your destination, duration of travel, and planned activities. Common recommendations include Typhoid, Hepatitis A, Yellow Fever (mandatory for some countries), and Meningococcal vaccine. A pre-travel consultation at least 4–6 weeks before departure is strongly advised.
Costs vary by vaccine type. Flu shots typically range from ₹600–₹1,200, while travel vaccines like Hepatitis A can cost ₹1,200–₹2,000 per dose. Pneumococcal vaccines are more expensive at ₹3,500–₹5,500. Contact Profrea or check the app for current pricing at your nearest clinic.
Yes. Profrea clinics in Gurugram accept walk-in patients for standard flu vaccinations. A brief pre-vaccination screening is conducted by a doctor before administration. For travel vaccines or multi-dose schedules, booking an appointment in advance is recommended.
In most cases, yes — and it is especially important. Adults with diabetes, heart disease, or chronic lung conditions are at higher risk of severe complications from vaccine-preventable illnesses. Your doctor will conduct a pre-vaccination assessment to confirm suitability on the day.
