As part of its commitment to building a healthier community, Riverside Health System is proud to be hosting several free vaccination events throughout the region in order to further promote both flu and COVID-19 vaccination.
These drive-thru and walk-up clinics will allow patients 9 and older to receive the flu vaccine and those 6 months and older to receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine (whiles supplies last). COVID-19 vaccines will be offered for all primary doses as well as booster doses based on the current approved vaccination schedule. To receive a second, third or booster vaccination, you must show proof of prior vaccination.
A drive-thru clinic will be held at the Riverside Medical Offices/Newport Square on Wednesday, September 28, 2022 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
