The Hays Medical Center Foundation will sponsor free drive-through flu shots from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 19.

The flu vaccine will be given to adults and children aged 6 months and older. Giving a healthy child older than 2 years of age the intranasal influenza vaccine (nose spray) is recommended by HaysMed pediatricians.

People wishing to receive a flu shot should enter the north entrance of HaysMed on Canterbury Drive and wear a short-sleeved shirt. No injections will be given to anyone allergic to eggs.

Along with the drive-through flu shots, HaysMed associates will be sponsoring an optional food drive. People are asked to bring a non-perishable food item, which will be donated to the Community Assistance Center.
