Who Is Not Eligible for the Free Drive-Thru Flu Shot
Children—They require a different dosage of the flu vaccine, which we do not have at our drive-thru locations.
The free flu shots will be administered by experienced nurses who will be supported in the field by physicians, critical care teams, first responders and network volunteers. For quick service, please wear short or easy-to-roll-up sleeves.
Nearly 5,000 area residents will be offered free flu shots on a first-come, first-served basis, while quantities last.
