Drive-thru flu shots by the end of the month

Prisma Health encourages everyone to take advantage of its drive-thru flu vaccine shots before the end of the month.  Those influenza vaccinations will transition to other Prisma outlets, such as doctors’ offices.  Health officials warn that contracting the flu and COVID-19 at the same time is possible and could likely lead to more complications than if the flu were the only infection.  But flu by itself also can be deadly.  While flu is highly contagious, immunizations can significantly diminish its spread.  Even if someone immunized against the flu still gets the flu, their illness is typically less severe and shorter.  For more information about the flu and Prisma’s drive-thru locations, visit prismahealth.org/flu
