Fight the Flu & COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic
October 22, 2022
As part of its commitment to building a healthier community, Riverside Health System is proud to announce it will host several free clinics throughout the region to further promote both the High Dose (HD) and standard flu vaccination and the COVID-19 vaccination.
These drive-thru and walk-up clinics will allow patients 9 and older to receive the flu vaccine and those 6 months and older to receive their primary Pfizer, COVID-19 vaccine and those 12 and up to receive their booster.
COVID-19 vaccines will be offered for all primary doses as well as booster doses based on the current approved vaccination schedule. To receive a second, third or booster vaccination, you must show proof of prior vaccination.
A drive-thru clinic will be held at the Riverside Cancer Care Center on Saturday, October 22, 2022 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
