There are quite a few different ways of finding places that offer flu shots and other vaccines. One would be to contact the Department of Health of your state, as they are the ones giving out the required permits to the doctors. Several websites (healthmap, findaflushot) also show locations of flu shots in your area on google maps.
Drugstores such as Walgreens offer cheap flu shots. Be aware that there are many types of influenza and no vaccine has been proven to be effective against them all.

Many clinics, doctors, and even pharmacies will offer free flu shots. Checking with one's local pharmacy may be the fastest way to obtain a free flu shots. Often times, children, pregnant women, and the elderly may be given priority for these, as well as the economically disadvantaged.
Sometimes you can get seasonal flu shots for free. Lots of churches will have days when you can get them free.
Hospitals are not universally required to offer flu shots to their employees, but many do so as part of infection control and employee health policies. Some states have regulations that may mandate vaccination for healthcare workers, especially during flu season, to protect both staff and patients. Additionally, many hospitals encourage vaccination through programs or incentives to promote a healthier workplace and reduce the risk of flu outbreaks.
No, there is no live bacteria in flu shots. Flu shots are to prevent the flu which is caused by a virus, not bacteria. The various flu vaccines contain pieces of viruses that are treated to be able to give you immunization, but not make you sick from the virus contained in the vaccination. The flu shots contain inert ("dead") viruses or pieces of viruses instead of whole particles. The flu mist used in the nasal vaccination is made with active ("live") but weakened viruses that can not make you sick if you have an otherwise healthy body and immune system.
Flu shots are beneficial for your health. They help prevent the flu and its complications, reducing the risk of serious illness and hospitalization. The benefits of getting a flu shot outweigh any potential risks.
