To reduce the risk of exposure to COVID-19, clinics will be a drive-up event outside of participating Florida Blue Centers throughout the state so participants can get their flu shot in a safer setting.
In addition to flu shots, vaccines also will be available for pneumonia, shingles, Tdap, Hepatitis A and B, and MMR (measles, mumps and rubella). These additional vaccinations are covered at no cost by most health insurance plans or can be purchased by those without insurance.
Masks are required and participants are asked to wait in their car for the Walgreens pharmacist to come to them.
Participants are encouraged to schedule an appointment and fill out vaccination forms ahead of time for faster service. Forms also will be available at the event and walk-ups are welcome. The event will run from 10 a.m. to 1 pm., people without an appointment are encouraged to arrive after 11 a.m. to help avoid large crowds and longer wait times.
