As flu season is just around the corner, the Comanche County Health Department is making sure everyone stays healthy by hosting a drive-thru clinic from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Oct. 4 at the Great Plains Coliseum.
The newly authorized bivalent COVID vaccine will be available at the drive-thru clinic and is also available on a walk-in basis at county health departments in southwest Oklahoma, according to a news release from the city of Lawton.
No appointment is necessary to attend the drive-thru clinic. There is no out-of-pocket expense for the vaccines, but residents are asked to bring their ID and insurance card. Children under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian present.
People who are receiving a booster dose should bring their vaccination card.
Influenza vaccines and COVID-19 vaccines can be given at the same time. Anyone who cannot attend the drive-thru clinic is encouraged to call their local county health department to determine their best option to access the vaccination.
For more information, contact the health department at (580) 248-5890.
