In October, Prisma Health is launching its annual Upstate community flu vaccination campaign as part of its system-wide effort to offer protection from the highly contagious virus. Protect your family with free flu shots available at sites in Greenville County.
The flu shot is available for anyone six months and older. Flu immunizations will be offered at multiple drive-thru sites to maximize community access. These sites will offer only flu shots. Limited high-dose flu vaccines will be offered for people age 65 and older.
All locations will feature drive-thru service for your convenience.
· Please wear loose-fitting clothing that can easily roll up.
· Consent forms are required and available at each site.
· A valid driver’s license or photo ID also is required.
· There is no out-of-pocket cost to receive a flu shot.
· Health insurance is not required but please bring your insurance card if you have it.
· Children under the age of 16 require a parent/guardian signature.
· Flu shots are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
In addition to these community clinics, your Prisma Health primary care clinic offers recommended vaccines.
Anthony Jackson, Prisma Health senior vice president for service lines and chief community officer, said, “We want to help everyone protect themselves and their family, especially those most vulnerable to severe illness. Getting your annual flu vaccination does not always prevent getting the flu, but it can reduce the severity of illness and save lives.”
Flu clinic dates and times may change. Check online for the latest updates: https://prismahealth.org/fight-the-flu.
