Hospital to hold drive-through flu shot clinic

Trigg Memorial Hospital will hold a drive-through flu-shot clinic Saturday morning for everyone age 12 and older at the Quay County fairgrounds in Tucumcari.

The free clinic will be from 8 to 10:30 a.m.

Vaccines will be given while people are in their cars. Only four people per vehicle or one person per vehicle window will be accepted. Those participating should wear a short-sleeve shirt for easy access to the arm.

Masks are required and should cover participants’ mouths and noses at all times. Valved masks, neck gaiters or bandanas will not be allowed.

Those participating should plan to spend at least 30 minutes or more in their vehicle while at the event.

The 2021 flu vaccine protects against predicted strains of seasonal influenza that likely will be seen this fall and winter in North America. The flu vaccine does not protect against COVID-19.
