Drive-thru, extended hours and walk-in clinics planned for September and October across central Missouri

MU Health Care will offer more than 20 flu and COVID vaccination events across central Missouri in September and October.

The events kick off in Jefferson City on Saturday, Sept. 27 from 8 a.m. until noon inside the Madison Street Medical Building next to Capital Region Medical Center. A second Jefferson City walk-in event will take place at the same time and location on Saturday, Oct. 11.

Drive-thru vaccination events on Oct. 18 and Oct. 25 at South Providence Medical Park in Columbia will offer car-side flu shots to adults and kids 6 months and older from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. Updated COVID vaccines will be available for adults 65 and older or adults with a qualifying condition.

In addition to the drive-thru dates in Columbia, MU Health Care is also hosting a drive-thru event in Fulton on Saturday, Oct. 11 from 8 a.m. until noon at Fulton Family Health.

For the drive-thru events, patients are asked to wear loose clothing and short sleeves if possible; this is especially important for young children who will get the shot in the thigh. All patients should bring an insurance card and will be asked to review and sign a consent form before receiving a vaccination in their vehicle. MU Health Care employees should bring their badge.

October extended hours vaccination events at MU Health Care clinic locations are scheduled in Columbia, Ashland, Boonville, Mexico and Fayette. Clinic-based events will offer COVID-19 shots to those 65 and older or anyone six months or older with a qualifying condition.  A complete list of MU Health Care’s vaccination events and locations is available at muhealth.org/flu.
