The Fannin County Health Department will conduct this year’s drive-thru flu shot clinic Thursday, September 24, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Farmers Market in Blue Ridge.
“It’s especially important this year that you’re able to remain separately and safely in your vehicle while driving through to get your flu shot from public health staff wearing COVID-19 protective gear,” North Georgia Health District Public Information Officer and Risk Communicator Jennifer King said.
The shot will be given at no cost if covered by one of several health plans. Those paying out of pocket will need $25 for a regular flu vaccine and $65 for a high-dose flu vaccine for people aged 65 and older.
Both vaccines guard against four different strains of the flu.
Cash, check, Medicare, Medicaid, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Coventry, Humana and United Healthcare Insurance will be accepted.
The Farmers Market is located on East First Street in Blue Ridge. Those interested in receiving a shot can call 706-632-3023 for more information.
