Flu Shot Drive-Thru Clinic Scheduled on October 6
September 22, 2023
Dear COVA Care, COVA HealthAware and COVA HDHP Members:
Already gotten your flu shot? If not, the Department of Human Resource Management (DHRM) is once again providing the option this year for health plan members in Central Virginia to receive free flu vaccinations at a drive-thru flu clinic.
Capitol Square Healthcare and DHRM are sponsoring a drive-thru flu clinic at Brightpoint Community College Parking Deck, located at 800 Charter Colony Parkway, Midlothian, Virginia, 23114, on October 6, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Flu shots will be administered in a covered parking garage, so there is no need to make an appointment or prepare for inclement weather. Just show up in your car and join the line! Flu shots are also available for covered spouses and children 4 years and older accompanied by a parent.
You must have your Health Plan ID card and a Photo ID with you or you will not receive the flu shot. We recommend that you wear a short-sleeved or top with easy access to the shoulder area where the vaccine will be administered.
You and your family member in the car are also advised to wear face masks to protect yourself and others, even if you are fully vaccinated and boosted for COVID-19.
Kaiser Permanente and Optima Health Vantage members will not be able to get the flu vaccine at the drive-thru clinics. For more on flu shot availability, please contact your health plan or visit https://www.dhrm.virginia.gov/employeebenefits/health-benefits/flushotinformation. Flu shots also are available on-site at Capitol Square Healthcare by appointment only.
Remember, you can also visit a doctor's office or local pharmacy to receive a flu shot at no cost to you for the vaccine.
