Drive-Thru Flu Vaccination & COVID-19 Testing for Quad-County Residents

CCHHS is continuing to offer drive-thru COVID-19 testing and flu vaccination events for Quad-County Residents ONLY. Those from other counties will be turned away. For the flu vaccine, CCHHS is contracted to bill most insurances. For uninsured we ask for a $20 administration fee; however, no one will be turned away for the inability to pay. CCHHS is not contracted with Tricare or labor unions. Testing is free of charge. Events are first come, first served, no appointments or reservations.
