  • Please wear short sleeves.
  • People age 10 and up can receive their free flu shot without leaving their vehicles.
  • Children 6 months through 9 years of age will be vaccinated on the west side of the Center for Health Improvement.  Adults attending with children can also receive their shots in the same location.
  • High-dose flu vaccine will not be available, typically used for individuals age 65 and older.  The CDC has not expressed a preference for any flu vaccine indicated for people 65 years and older. It's most important for everyone to get the annual seasonal flu vaccine, whether it's a standard-dose or high-dose flu vaccine.
  • There will be no nasal flu vaccine at the drive-thru flu shot clinic.
  • There will be no egg free vaccines available at the drive-thru flu shot clinic. People with a severe egg allergy will need to contact their local healthcare provider for their flu vaccine.

More than 100 volunteers will be on hand to help with the event. HaysMed partners with Fort Hays State University and Fort Hays Tech North Central as both facilities provide students to help with the shots.

The vaccine also is available at HaysMed clinics for patients who are unable to attend the drive-thru flu shot event. Charges will apply at regular clinic visits, though the vaccine is covered by most health insurance plans.
