Geisinger is hosting its final Super Saturday flu vaccine event for the year from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, at more than 40 locations across the system’s footprint.

Those who still need a flu shot can easily drive up to one of 22 locations and receive a shot without leaving their vehicle - no appointment needed. At locations without drive-through shots, walk-in shots are available. Flu shots are free.

“The rise in flu cases we’re seeing already - plus COVID-19 and recently RSV in children - is being called a ‘tripledemic’,” said Stanley Martin, M.D., director of Geisinger’s Division of Infectious Diseases. “The only way to protect ourselves, children, the elderly, and the immunocompromised is to get vaccinated. We encourage everyone to do so.”

Super Saturday clinics are for the flu vaccine only, but those interested in getting a COVID-19 shot or booster can schedule with their primary care physician or at a Geisinger Pharmacy via MyGeisinger, the MyChart mobile app, or by calling 570-284-3657.

Geisinger community medicine clinics will host drive-through events for anyone age 3 and older:

• Geisinger Frackville (701 West Oak St.)

• Geisinger Orwigsburg (300 Hollywood Blvd.)

• Geisinger Pottsville (529 Terry Reiley Way)

• Geisinger Mount Pocono (126 Market Way)

Those 65 and older can receive shots at Geisinger 65 Forward locations.

Drive-through:

• Hazleton (20 Diana Lane)

Walk-in flu shots for patients ages 6 months and older will also be available at the following CommunityCare and Geisinger Pediatrics locations:

• CommunityCare Hazleton (426 Airport Road)

Pediatrics:

• Pottsville (529 Terry Reiley Way)

• Mount Pocono (126 Market Way)

There’s no need to preregister to get a flu shot. Remember to wear a mask and loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the upper arm.
