Drive-thru to fight the flu

By on October 31, 2022

The Outer Banks Hospital is offering FREE flu vaccines to community members ages 18 to 64. Clinics will take place starting in September 2022. Please continue to check back as clinics are continuously added. Appointments are required. To make an appointment, email your name and phone number to Lea.Campbell@theobh.com or call 252-449-4529.

At most clinics, participants will remain in their vehicle for the entire duration. Our team will bring the consent form to you and then administer the flu vaccine through your open car window and/or door. The Outer Banks Hospital staff will be adhering to all CDC and local health department COVID-19 guidelines. You must be between the ages of 18 and 64 to receive a vaccine.

Vaccine Information:
Quadrivalent influenza vaccines will be administered at all Drive-Thru to Fight the Flu events. These vaccines are designed to protect against four different flu viruses, including two influenza A viruses and two influenza B viruses.

We STRONGLY recommend that individuals ages 65+ receive the High Dose Quadrivalent Flu Vaccine this year. Please note that this clinic does NOT administer the High Dose Quadrivalent Flu Vaccine. Individuals ages 65+ may not be fully protected by receiving the Standard-Dose Quadrivalent Vaccine.
