DeKalb Public Health’s annual drive-thru vaccination event is Saturday, Sept. 27

DEKALB COUNTY, GA– On Satursday, Sept. 27, DeKalb Public Health will host a drive-thru vaccination event at the Lou Walker Senior Center, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., 2538 Panola Rd., City of Stonecrest. Pre-registration is not required.

Three variations of flu shot will be available – Fluarix, for children 6 months and older; Flublok for individuals 9 years and older; immunocompromised individuals, or those who would like a vaccine that may give a higher level of protection; and Fluzone High-Dose for ages 65 years and older, providing a higher level of protection for this age group. In addition to flu shots, FluMist, a flu vaccine that is sprayed into the nose, will be available for children ages 6 through 18.

As final approvals must still take place at the federal level, with subsequent vaccine administration protocol approvals at the state level, the 2025-2026 COVID-19 vaccine will not be available at this event.

Anyone receiving a vaccine should bring their insurance information and photo ID. These vaccines are available at no cost with most private insurance, Medicaid, and Medicare.  For those who are not insured or your plan doesn’t fully cover the cost, the vaccines are available for a low cost. Cash, checks (drawn on banks with branch locations in Georgia), and credit/debit cards are accepted. To see if your insurance plan is accepted, visit the DeKalb Public Health website or call 404-294-3700.
