Drive-through flu shots offered systemwide for access, convenience

Flu season is quickly approaching, and Geisinger is again making it easy to get vaccinated at Super Saturday drive-through flu shot events.

This Saturday, Sept. 14, is the first Super Saturday event of the season. Drive-thru flu shots will be available for anyone age three and older at dozens of participating Geisinger locations, including a couple right here in Mifflin and Juniata counties. Patients six months and older can receive their flu shot at Geisinger pediatrics locations.

All Super Saturday flu vaccine events are from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Events will also be held October 12 and October 26.

Flu season typically begins in the fall and lasts throughout the winter, although the virus can be spread year-round. Peak flu activity is generally between December and February but can extend as late as May.

Super Saturday drive-throughs will be held at the following Geisinger locations:
