The Hart County Health Department, as part of the Georgia Department of Public Health, District 2, will hold its annual drive-thru flu clinics Oct. 8 and Oct. 19.
The Oct. 8 event will take place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, located at 579 Fairview Ave., and is hosted in partnership with the church and Community Works 4 Hart.
The Oct. 19 event will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Hart County Health Department, located at 64 Reynolds St.
The flu shot is recommended for everyone ages six months and up, except for those who have had a severe allergic reaction to the flu vaccine or any of its components.
The flu vaccine is offered at no-cost with most insurance plans, so participants will just need to bring their insurance details.
If paying out of pocket, the regular flu vaccine is $30, and the high dose flu vaccine for adults 65 years and older is $66. The Oct. 8 event at St. Andrew's will include free vaccines for the uninsured, while supplies last.
