Drive-Thru Flu and COVID-19 Vaccination Clinics During the Month of October

No appointment is necessary for this drive-thru clinic, making it quick and easy for community members to receive their vaccinations. Both regular and high-dose flu shots, along with the updated COVID-19 vaccine, will be available in a single-dose format.

Participants are reminded to stay in their vehicles to ensure safety and efficiency. Vaccines are generally covered in whole or in part by most insurance providers, so attendees are encouraged to bring their health insurance cards.

Organizers emphasized the importance of wearing clothing that allows easy access to the upper arm for vaccination.

This initiative aims to protect the health of the community, and all families, community members, and staff are encouraged to take part. However, please note that the date and time of the clinic are subject to change without notice.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to make a difference in your health and the health of those around you!
