CMH Pediatric Clinic to offer drive-thru flu shot clinics
Citizens Memorial Hospital Pediatric Clinic will offer three drive-thru flu shot clinics for children ages 6 months through high school seniors on Thursday, Oct. 3, Tuesday, Oct. 8, and Thursday, Oct. 10, from 4-6 p.m. outside the clinic located at 1195 N. Oakland Avenue in Bolivar.
The drive-thru clinics are open to all children; you do not have to be an established CMH Pediatric Clinic or CMH patient to receive the flu vaccine. Families are asked to review the pre-visit and drive-thru clinic instructions before the event to ensure a smooth visit.
The flu vaccine is recommended for children 6 months of age and older. When arriving at the event, parents and children will be asked to remain in their cars while clinic staff are outside to provide instructions and administer the flu vaccine.
Pre-Visit Instructions:
- An adult or legal guardian must accompany all patients under the age of 18.
- Please do not have any pets in your vehicle.
- Please dress your child(ren) so that arms and legs are easily accessible. Short-sleeved shirts or shorts/onesies for young children are recommended.
- Children receiving the vaccine should not eat or drink during the vaccination.
- Please remove jackets before entering the drive-thru line.
- Children should remain secured in their car seats or seatbelts and should only occupy the end seats (not the middle seats).
Drive-Thru Clinic Instructions:
- When arriving at the clinic parking lot, follow the signs to enter the drive-thru line. Your first stop will be registration for all children who are receiving the flu vaccine.
- Follow the directions to the vaccination sites. Remain in the vehicle unless otherwise instructed.
