Methodist Physicians Clinic will be offering this year’s flu vaccine at four area locations in an easy drive-thru format. Flu shots are available to anyone 6 months and older, including high-dose shots for those 65 and older.
“We know that time and convenience remain significant barriers to vaccination,” said Michael Ortmeier, senior director of clinic operations for Methodist Physicians Clinic. “But we also know that Methodist’s drive-thru flu vaccine clinics – which have become an annual event due to the popularity of such ease and convenience – continue to remove such barriers. In an effort to improve the health of our communities, it’s our mission and privilege to continue providing such efficient means to care.”
Here’s how it works:
· Call (402) 354-CARE to schedule an appointment at any of the drive-thru locations.
· You’ll receive a text message from Methodist confirming the appointment and providing a link to complete forms. You will also be asked to upload a copy of your insurance card, which will help make the appointment more efficient.
· Please bring your ID to the designated clinic location at your scheduled appointment time. The flu shot will be administered from the comfort of your vehicle. The process is quick and easy – you’ll be done in a matter of minutes.
· The clinic will bill the patient’s insurance, and self-pay patients will be billed by mail. No payment will be accepted at the clinic.
If you would prefer to receive the flu shot at your primary care provider’s office, please contact your clinic team directly.
