ROCKLAND — MaineHealth Pen Bay Hospital will offer a drive-thru flu clinic on Tuesday, Oct. 29, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at 409 Old County Road in Rockland. The clinic, which is open to the public, will offer the flu shot in both the standard dose and the high dose often favored by seniors. Adults age 18 and older are welcome.

As in the past, the drive-thru flu clinic has been designed to be user friendly, and no appointments are necessary. Those seeking a flu shot need only follow the signs that will lead to the drive-thru designated by traffic cones where clinical staff will greet them and administer the flu vaccine.

Most insurances are accepted, and those with insurance should be sure to bring their insurance card. Some insurance plans only cover vaccines given by your doctor or at a limited set of locations, so consider checking with your insurance company first. Those without insurance who wish to pay out of pocket for a flu shot will be billed. Without insurance, the cost for the regular dose flu shot is $14.76 and the cost for the high dose flu shot is $55.35.

For more information, please contact MaineHealth Pen Bay Hospital’s pharmacy at 301-8585.
