Lehigh Valley Health Network will administer free seasonal flu vaccinations for adults and children 6 months and older during two community sessions.

Flu shots are scheduled for 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Nov. 7 at Dorney Park, 3830 Dorney Park Road, and 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Nov. 8 at Coca-Cola Park, 1050 IronPigs Way.

All shots will be drive-thru. Adults and children ages 2 and older in the vehicle must wear a face covering.

“Getting a flu vaccine is more important than ever this year because it can reduce the risk of flu illness, hospitalization and death,” Dr. Alex Benjamin, M.D., LVHN’s chief infection control officer, said. “Getting a flu vaccine can also reduce the burden on the health care system responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.”

LVHN is partnering with the Allentown Health Bureau to offer online registration. Slots are available for the morning or afternoon sessions both days. Participants may arrive at any time during their reserved time period.

Vaccine information, a consent form, the link for online registration and maps of both locations are available at lvhn.org/flushot. Bring a completed 2020-21 consent form for each individual receiving a flu shot. Participants are also encouraged to wear loose clothing.

Benjamin said a routine vaccination should be deferred for people with a suspected or confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis until they have met criteria to discontinue isolation to avoid exposing health care personnel and other patients.

LVHN is accepting donations of nonperishable, nonexpired food items during each of the drive-thru sessions. In addition, volunteers will be collecting other items such as diapers, personal hygiene products, coffee pods and wipes.

According to Terry Burger, RN, LVHN’s administrator for infection control and prevention, vaccine supplies are available, so the public should not be concerned about being able to get a shot.
