Free flu shots in LW on Nov. 16 at CH 4

SPONSORED BY OPTUMCARE

The first clinic the HCC sponsored this fall was a tremendous success, with more than 1,100 GRF members taking advantage of the drive-through event Oct. 1. GRF has arranged for Optum-Care to host a second event for those who could not take advantage of the first one, and this one is free to all, even if your insurance does not cover it or you are not a member of OptumCare.

The flu shot is more important than ever this year. To help keep everyone safe and socially distanced, this will be a drive-through flu clinic, similar to the first one.

The clinic will be held in the Clubhouse 4 parking lot on Monday, Nov. 16, between 8 a.m.-2 p.m.
