SLCo Drive Thru Flu Shot Clinic for Seniors

Salt Lake County
Offering New
High-Dose
Vaccine For Seniors


Salt Lake County’s Healthy Aging Program is encouraging seniors 60 years of age or older living inside the County to attend the annual Drive-Thru Flu Shot clinic on Saturday, October 9th at the County Government Center, 2001 South State Street in the southeast parking lot. Clinic hours will be from 8:00 am – 11:00 am.

In addition to offering the normal, regular flu vaccine, this year a new, high-dose vaccine will be available. This new, high-dose vaccine was developed specifically for those 65+ and has four times more micrograms of each of the three viral strains that are found in the regular influenza vaccine.

“We’ve worked to make this as easy as possible for seniors to come in and get vaccinated for the 2010-2011 influenza seasons,” said Dee Dee Lobato, Healthy Aging Program Manager. “All seniors have to do is drive up and stick their arm out the window of their vehicle. It’s that simple.”

Most Medadvantage plans and Medicare Part B will be accepted. Donations will also be accepted at the event with a $20 suggested donation for the regular flu vaccine and a $28 suggested donation for the new, high-dose vaccine.

Seniors are encouraged to wear short sleeves or shirt sleeves that can be easily pulled up. Older adults in particular are urged to get an annual seasonal flu-shot. Seniors should consult their Primary Care Provider if they are currently ill with a moderate or severe illness, are allergic to eggs or egg products or have had a severe allergic reaction after receiving a previous flu-shot.
