Flu shot clinics to be held in Macon-Bibb County next week

The Macon Bibb-County Health Department is offering two walk-in and drive-thru flu shot clinics next week.

On Tuesday from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. and then on Friday, Sept. 25, from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m., the health department will provide the shots, which are recommended for everyone 6 months and older.

No appointment is required, and anyone who is handicapped or disabled can get their shot in the drive-thru during the same hours as the walk-in clinics. There is a limit of four people per car.

Anyone with Medicaid, Medicare or most private insurance will not have any out-of-pocket cost, and the health department will file the insurance paperwork. For those paying cash, the cost is $25 for people 64 and younger. The cost is $55 for people paying cash who are 65 and older.

The walk-in and drive-thru clinics will be at the department’s 171 Emery Highway location in Macon.
