Drive-Thru Flu Shots Also Available in October from LVHN
ALLENTOWN PA – With flu season right around the corner, the Lehigh Valley Health Network says it will administer free influenza vaccinations during 2025 for a 28th consecutive year. Vaccinations for adults and children, age 6 months and older, will be offered at two drive-thru flu shot clinics in October.
They are scheduled for:
- Oct. 11 (2025; Saturday) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Lehigh Valley Hospital–Hecktown Oaks, 3780 Hecktown Rd., Easton PA; and
- Oct. 12 (Sunday), also from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Integrated Health Campus, 240 Cetronia Rd., Allentown PA.
Anyone planning to get a flu shot at either location is asked to review a vaccine information statement, and fill out a consent form. Both are online. Print out and bring completed and signed consent forms for each person receiving a flu shot. Consent forms also will be available at the drive-through locations.
For the past 27 years, the network says it has administered nearly 215,000 free flu shots through its annual community influenza vaccination campaign. Lehigh Valley Health Network is part of Philadelphia-based Jefferson Health.
The network is again partnering with area food banks and shelters to accept donations of unexpired, nonperishable food items during each of the drive-throughs. Food donations are optional, and not required to receive a shot. Those donating food are urged to check expiration dates and only bring non-perishable items that have not expired.
