(KNSI) — Ahead of cold and flu season, CentraCare is operating several drive-thru flu shot clinics over the next two months.
When arriving for an appointment at a drive-thru location, patients stay in their car, and a nurse comes to them. Shots will be offered on select weekends at numerous locations starting on Saturday, September 17th, at CentraCare Plaza in St. Cloud at the Meadows Entrance. Other sites include Long Prairie, Melrose, Sauk Centre, and Willmar.
This year, CentraCare also is offering Fluad, an influenza vaccine for patients 65 years of age and older. Fluad Quadrivalent vaccine includes a drug known as an adjuvant designed to strengthen, broaden and lengthen the duration of an immune response. Eligible patients should call CentraCare Connect at 320-200-3200 to schedule an appointment for this vaccine. Fluad will be available at drive-thru vaccine clinics.
Drive-thru clinics are for ages three and up. Appointments are required. Call 320-200-3200 to schedule, or click here.
