2020 Flu Shot Clinic-Oct. 1

Sponsored by OptumCare Health Care Center

The flu shot is more important than ever this year—this year OptumCare at the Health Care Center is doing things a little differently. To help keep everyone safe and socially distanced, it will have its first-ever drive-through clinic.

The clinic will be held in the Clubhouse 4 parking lot on Thursday, Oct. 1, between 8 a.m.-3 p.m.

Face masks or coverings are required.

Here’s How It Works

For cars:

Use the north entrance. The clinic will be held behind Clubhouse 4. There will be signs and personnel to guide traffic. See the yellow lines on the map, page 2.

• After you get your shot, exit onto Northwood Road. For scooters, bikes, shuttles, golf carts and walk-up appointments: Tables will be set up in front of Clubhouse 4. Wear a face mask or covering. See the red lines on the map, page 2.

How do I know if I can get my flu shot here?

• If your primary care doctor works at an Optum location, you can get your flu shot. There is no copay.

• If your primary care doctor does not work at an Optum location: »If you have Original Medicare and are not a Medicare Advantage patient, you can get your flu shot. There is no copay.

»If you are a Medicare Advantage patient and your insurance card does not have Monarch Healthcare on it, it is unable to provide the flu shot unless you pay cash. Contact your Primary Care Physician to find out what locations are available to you.
