Ledge Light Health District will host its 9th annual Drive Thru to Beat the Flu clinic in the parking lot of Waterford High School located at 20 Rope Ferry Road in Waterford on Sunday, October 25, 2020, from 12 to 2 pm while supplies last.

Regular flu shots will be provided at no cost to individuals 18 years and older who live in East Lyme, Groton, Ledyard, Lyme, New London, Old Lyme, Stonington, North Stonington, and Waterford. District residents that need the high dose vaccine should contact their pharmacy, medical provider, or the Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) of Southeastern Connecticut.

The Drive Thru to Beat the Flu is a full-scale exercise that allows Ledge Light Health District staff and partners to practice mass dispensing plans for public health emergencies.

It is recommended that people wear a tank top, short sleeve shirt or loose-fitting clothes for easy access to the upper arm. A flu consent form is required for each participant. Forms can be downloaded from www.llhd.org or obtained at the Drive-Thru. Any questions, please call 860-448-4882.
