HSHS Medical Group is making it easy for families to protect themselves from the flu this season with two drive-thru flu vaccine clinics in Taylorville.

The clinics will be held Saturday, September 20th, and Saturday, September 27th, from 9 a.m. to noon at HSHS Medical Group Multispecialty Care, located at 1304 West Burnett Drive.

Dr. Poojitha Kolluri says flu vaccines remain the best defense against influenza and its complications, and the drive-thru format allows people to get their shot without leaving their car.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends everyone six months and older receive a flu vaccine each year, especially children, older adults, and anyone with chronic health conditions.
