Northern Michigan Health Departments and Centers Create Flu Shot Drive-Thru

COVID-19 has been the hot topic these days when it comes to important health issues, but that doesn’t mean everything else should take a back seat. This is why various Northern Michigan health departments and centers have come together in order to provide drive-through flu shots to those living near Cadillac, Grayling, Lake Ann, Mesick, Bear Lake, and Traverse City.

The CDC recommends everyone 6 months and older get vaccinated, including pregnant women. Each year, the flu vaccine prevents millions of adults and children from getting sick with this serious and potentially life-threatening virus.
