Drive-through flu shots offered systemwide for convenience, access
DANVILLE, Pa. – Flu season is quickly approaching, and Geisinger is making it easy to get vaccinated at Super Saturday drive-through flu shot events.
This Saturday, Sept. 13, is the first event. Drive-thru flu shots will be available for anyone age 3 and older at dozens of participating Geisinger locations. Patients 6 months and older can receive their flu shot at Geisinger pediatrics locations.
All Super Saturday events are from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Events will also be held Oct. 4 and Oct. 18.
“The flu vaccine protects you against serious illness and keeps you from spreading the flu to those at high risk of severe illness, such as newborns, children, pregnant women, elderly and immunocompromised people,” said Stanley Martin, M.D., Geisinger director of infectious diseases.
Flu season typically begins in the fall and lasts throughout the winter, although the virus can be spread year-round.
