Adena to Host Curbside Flu Shot Event November 7th

Presented by Hometown-Motors, Inc.

Adena Health Center – Woodlands, 311 Caldwell Street in Chillicothe, will be holding a second curbside flu shot event Saturday November 7th from 10am-2pm.

“We were beyond impressed with the community’s responsiveness to our first curbside flu shot event and feel as if it only makes sense for us to do it again,” said Hanna Brown, Service Line Director of Primary Care. 

“This was the first time we’ve offered this service to the public, without requiring an appointment or be an established patient at Adena, and the positive feedback and appreciation the community expressed as a result of the event was phenomenal” Brown added.  “Our caregivers provided nearly 300 flu vaccinations in about four hours, without having to ask anyone to step out of their vehicle. The best part was the fact that kids were able to remain in their car seats, which made it much quicker and easier for parents. It is incredibly important for members of our community to understand the importance of the annual flu vaccine and how it not only decreases their own chances of virus contraction, but for their family as well.”

An appointment for the curbside flu shot event is not necessary. Adults and children can both receive their flu shot during the event. Officials say for children over six months and adults, the flu shot can prevent them from getting sick, prevent flu-related hospitalizations and potentially lessen symptoms or length of illness should they get a strain of the flu. Please have your insurance card and an ID ready upon arrival. Most insurance companies will cover the cost of a yearly flu shot. There is a cost $19.99 for those uninsured. Due to enhanced safety precautions, only credit cards will be accepted during the event. No cash.
