CMH Pediatric Clinic to offer drive-thru flu shots

Citizens Memorial Hospital Pediatric Clinic will offer drive-thru flu shots for children Saturday, Oct. 16, and 23, 9 a.m.-noon, outside the clinic located at 1195 N. Oakland Ave., Bolivar.

The flu vaccine is recommended for children age 6 months and older. The event will allow your child to receive the flu vaccine without leaving your car. When you arrive, you will remain in your car and clinic staff will be outside to give instructions and provide your child with the vaccine. The drive-thru clinic is open to all children-you do not have to be an established patient of the clinic or CMH.

Families are asked to review the pre-visit and drive-thru clinic instructions before the event to ensure a smooth visit.

Pre-Visit Instructions:

  • All patients under 18 must be accompanied by an adult or legal guardian.
  • Please do not have pets in your vehicle.
  • Please dress your child for easy access to arms and legs. Short-sleeve shirts or shorts/onesie for small children is recommended.
  • Children receiving the vaccine should not be eating or drinking during the vaccination.
  • Please remove jackets before entering the drive-thru line.
  • Children should remain secured in their car seat or seat belts and only occupy the end seats (no middle seat).

Drive-Thru Clinic Instructions:

  • When arriving at the office parking lot, follow the signs to enter the drive-thru line. Your first stop will be registration for all members of your children who are receiving the flu vaccine.
  • Follow directions to vaccination tents. Remain in vehicle unless instructed otherwise.

Should weather interfere with the event, a rain date will be announced. Information will be communicated at facebook.com/CMHPediatricClinic.
