in Seguin, held a drive-thru flu vaccine clinic on Saturday at his office located at (Seguin) -- A local physician is doing more 523 E. Court St. Stephens says they decided to try to protect his patients from the flu to try this idea as a way to deliver a large this year. number of vaccinations in a relatively short amount time, all while also keeping people Dr. Bob Stephens, at Cornerstone Pediatrics safe from the spread of COVID-19.
“Every year, there’s a big push, of course, to get folks immunized against influenza to protect people from that illness during flu season. We participate in that every year, because the flu vaccine is recommended for all children six months of age and older. We were facing some extra challenges this year, because of course we have the pandemic. And because of coronavirus, it’s even more important to get protected against influenza, because we are going to have both diseases circulating at the same time throughout the winter months. But we are faced with pandemic issues where we are trying to maintain social distancing and folks are obviously hesitant, for very good reason, to be around a lot of other people. So we came upon this idea to have a drivethru flu clinic where people could pull up, and not get out of their cars, and we would provide the flu vaccines for their children while they are in their cars,” said Stephens.
Stephens says they were not sure how people would react to the plan, but he says Saturday’s drive-thru flu shot clinic was a big success. See FLU CLINIC, page 2
