Geisinger Begins Hosting Super Saturday Flu Shot Clinics Drive-through flu shots offered systemwide for access, convenience Flu season is quickly approaching, and Geisinger is again making it easy to get vaccinated at Super Saturday drive-through flu shot events. This Saturday, Sept. 14, is the first Super Saturday event of the season. Drive-thru flu shots will be available for anyone age 3 and older at dozens of participating Geisinger locations. Patients 6 months and older can receive their flu shot at Geisinger pediatrics locations. All Super Saturday flu vaccine events are from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Events will also be held Oct. 12 and Oct. 26. “By getting immunized, you are protecting yourself against serious illness while also reducing your risk of getting hospitalized and keeping yourself from spreading the flu to those at high risk of severe illness, including children, the elderly and those immunocompromised,” said Stanley Martin, M.D., Geisinger director of infectious diseases. Flu season typically begins in the fall and lasts throughout the winter, although the virus can be spread year-round. Peak flu activity is generally between December and February but can extend as late as May.
