The Christian County Health Department is organizing two drive-thru flu vaccination clinics this September. The first clinic will take place at the Pana Fire Department on Monday, September 16, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., located at 400 East 1st Street, Pana, Illinois. The second clinic is scheduled for Monday, September 23, from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Christian County Fairgrounds, 1716 W Spresser Street, Taylorville, Illinois.
Public Health Nurses will be on-site to administer flu vaccines to all interested residents. Attendees are advised to bring their insurance cards, and there is no need to leave the car, as the clinic is entirely drive-thru.
Dr. Chad Anderson, Christian County's Public Health Administrator, explains the importance of the flu vaccine, noting that it provides protection against the most common flu strains and helps reduce the risk of severe illness and flu-related hospitalizations.
The Christian County Health Department is collaborating with the Pana Fire & EMS Department and the Christian County Fair Board for these clinics. Those unable to attend can schedule a flu vaccine appointment at the Health Department’s office by calling 217-824-4113.
