The Adair County Health Department will host its annual flu vaccine drive-through at the NEMO Fairgrounds, Wednesday, October 5, 2022, from 11 a.m. through 6 p.m. so long as supplies last. The Health Department has a limited number of high-dose flu vaccines which are recommended for adults ages 65 and older. Those will be administered on a first-come, first-serve basis for as long as supplies last during the drive-through. Vehicles should enter the fairgrounds from Patterson Street. Annual flu vaccines are recommended for those ages 3 and older. No registration is required for flu vaccines, and shots are free for Adair County residents. Medicare and Medicaid/MO HealthNet beneficiaries are asked to bring their insurance cards with them.

You are encouraged to print out and complete the Flu Assessment Screening and Consent Form , or pick up and complete a form prior to the drive-through at the Health Department’s Clinic entrance and bring it with you to the drive-through event to minimize wait times. Short-sleeved or loose-fitting shirts are recommended to facilitate administration of the vaccine.
