MU Health Care holds drive-thru flu shot clinic on weekends

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

MU Health Care is offering drive-thru flu shot events at South Providence Medical Park in September and October. 

The events will offer car-side flu shots to adults and kids 6 months and older on Saturday and Sunday the weekends of Sept. 25 and Oct. 2. from 7 a.m. until 6 p.m.

Patients are asked to wear loose clothing and short sleeves if possible; this is especially important for young children who will get the shot in the thigh.

All patients will be asked to review and sign a consent form before receiving a shot.

“Each year, hundreds of thousands of people are hospitalized with the flu in the United States, and a vaccination offers protection to keep you and your loved ones from becoming seriously ill,” said Christelle Ilboudo with MU Health Care.
