The vaccination clinic will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 2.

“We are delighted to help bring the community together and be part of the solution to ending this pandemic-especially going into cold and flu season-we want to help keep our community safe and well,” said Mary Middleton, CEO of the Cassopolis Family Clinic Network. “Anyone wanting to get both the flu shot and COVID-19 vaccine can do so without worry, the CDC states there is no wait time and [they] can be given at the same time.” Middleton said.

Both the Pfizer and Moderna brand COVID-19 vaccines will be available for individuals age 12 and older. The flu vaccine will be available separately for individuals six months and older wanting to receive their yearly dose.

Attendees can stay in their vehicles, as the vaccines will be administered through the car window. Individuals receiving second dose of COVID-19 Vaccine should bring their vaccination card with them. Participants wishing to get their COVID-19 vaccination and flu shot the same day can do so safely. Participants do not need to be Cassopolis Family Clinic patients. Appointments are not required, and advance sign-ups will not be available.
