On the day of the clinic:

 Wear a mask or cloth face covering.

 Please bring all insurance cards with you.

 Please wear short sleeves.

You will remain in your car the entire time, so it’s important that the nurse has easy access to your upper arm. You will be vaccinated in the arm closest to the car window.

Otherwise, the standard flu vaccine, available to anyone 6 months and older, costs $25 per person. The high-dose flu vaccine is available for patients 65 and older and costs $50 per person. No one will be turned away because they are unable to pay.

In addition to getting your flu shot, you can take other simple steps to protect yourself and the people around you from the flu:

 Wash your hands often with soap and water

 Cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze or cough

 Stay home if you feel sick If you have a question about the flu vaccine, call your physician.
