September 25 - 26, 2021 @ 600 Stinson Blvd NE, Minneapolis

Flu season is here.

Getting your yearly flu shot has never been easier thanks to Health Fair 11’s drive-thru Flu Fighter Clinics. Flu shots are available September 25-26, 2021 at 600 Stinson Boulevard in northeast Minneapolis. Nurses with Hennepin Healthcare Worksite Wellness will vaccinate people ages six months and older while they sit in the comfort of a car. The Flu Fighter Clinics will use a drive-thru format to ensure social distancing with minimal contact.

Help avoid a medical double-whammy

In normal times, medical experts would be encouraging everyone to get a flu shot. In these times, the second year of the pandemic, leaders in the medical community continue to say it’s more important than ever to get a flu shot.

Medical experts from the National Institute of Health (NIH), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) and UCare agree: Our country is facing a potential medical double-whammy this fall. The co-occurrence of viruses for both COVID-19 and influenza is a recipe for a community health disaster.

Influenza and COVID-19 share many of the same early symptoms --- coughs, fever, and body aches. As people get ill this fall, doctors and nurses will immediately be asking if people have received a season flu shot. The patient’s answer will help healthcare workers assess and diagnose patients more effectively.

Act now!

Health Fair 11 is coordinating two days of public Flu Fighter Clinics. Nurses with Hennepin Healthcare will administer flu shots on a first-come, first-served basis to people age six months and older.
