Beginning Friday, October 30th, the free drive through flu clinic at the Alliant Energy Center is open to all Dane County adults and children who do not have health insurance, or who have BadgerCare, Medicaid, or Medicare.
"Given the demand we see in the community for flu shots, as well as the ample supply of vaccine that we have at the moment, we're happy to be able to expand our eligibility," says Tess Ellens, Public Health Nurse at Public Health Madison & Dane County.
Previously, only adults and children who do not have insurance or children with Badgercare could utilize the clinic.
Since opening in early October, the free clinic has vaccinated over 700 people. The clinic is open until November 21, 2020. Flu shots are available through clinics and pharmacies for people who have private health insurance coverage.
Details about the drive through flu clinic:
"The flu shot is important every year, but is especially important this year as it helps to protect you and your loved ones from flu during the pandemic and can also reduce the burden on hospitals and healthcare systems," continues Ellens.
