Drive Thru Flu Clinic

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY

Drive Thru and Fight the Flu with Mid City Pediatrics!

Mid City Pediatrics is excited to announce our Drive Thru Flu Clinic is BACK by popular demand! It is essential to receive your annual flu vaccine each year to help prevent an illness that could lead to unnecessary medical visits and hospitalizations. The drive through flu clinic is a great, convenient option! No worrying with getting out of the car, fighting with car seats or waiting in the waiting room!

Get your “Golden Ticket” here:

*Please note, We will NOT give “walk-in” flu shots other than the walk-in times listed.

*We require that your “Golden Ticket” be printed off and filled out PRIOR to coming to the drive thru flu clinic. If you do not have you ticket preprinted, you may go through the line and receive a ticket, pull through to fill it out and return to the end of the line.  This prevents back up/wait times for those that have already preprinted the forms and are ready to go.

How do I get a flu shot?  

There are three ways to receive a flu shot at Mid City Pediatrics:

  1. Our Drive Thru Flu Clinic – Simply pull through the line and receive the vaccine in your car. No one has to get out!
  2. Scheduled “walk-in” clinic days. These are days scheduled to actually come inside to receive your flu shot for those of you who do not want to utilize the drive thru process. 
  3. During your child’s wellness exam.

  • you will be asked to return to the back of the line if the nurse cannot get to the proper area to give the injection due to clothing restrictions. This will give you time to remove the clothing and return for the shot.

  • if you arrive outside the scheduled times, you may not be able to receive the flu vaccine in your car.

  • we strongly encourage everyone to utilize our new service at the suggested times to minimize the wait.
  • this drive through service is for flu shots only.  All other “shot only” visits must come into the building.
