Successful HaysMed flu shot drive despite rain

HAYSMED

Well, that was one for the record books!!! We’ve done the Flu Shot Drive Thru campaign in snow, extremely cold and hot temperatures and once in the mist but never in a downpour!!!

We gave over 4,000 flu shots.

Thanks to Fort Hays State University and NCK Tech students, HaysMed associates and volunteers and everyone who helped make Sunday a success.

Then, lightning forced the flu shot drive to move indoors.

Special thanks to our security for keeping watch on the lightning and making the decision to bring the event inside for everyone’s safety.

A BIG THANK YOU to the HaysMed Foundation for sponsoring the flu vaccine.

A special thank you to the public for braving the weather and getting your shot to prevent getting the flu. Your generosity in food donations for the Community Assistance Center are also really appreciated.

Despite some unintended consequences of the weather our team pulled together and executed a well-run event. Thanks to everyone!!!!
