The fourth annual drive-through flu clinic on Fort Stewart is scheduled for 11 a.m.-5 p.m. today and Thursday in the Winn Army Community Hospital overflow parking lot at the corner of Harmon Avenue and 6th Street.
Twelve licensed providers from Winn ACH will administer flu shots in four drive-through lanes at the clinic. All military beneficiaries, federal employees, military retirees and their family members older than 6 months are eligible to receive the vaccination for free. No appointment is necessary.
The first drive-through flu clinic on Fort Stewart was held in 2008 as a joint emergency preparedness exercise between the installation and Liberty County. The goal was to prepare for a pandemic in which a mass vaccine distribution would be needed. Due to its success, the drive-through clinic now is an annual event held each fall on Fort Stewart.
