Second flu shot clinic to be held Nov. 16

The first clinic the Health Care Center sponsored this fall was a tremendous success, with more than 1,100 GRF members taking advantage of the drive-through event. GRF has arranged for OptumCare to host a second event, and this one is free to all—even if your insurance does not cover it or you are not a member of OptumCare.

The flu shot is more important than ever this year, and to help keep everyone safe and socially distanced, the Nov. 16 event will also be a drive-through flu clinic. Members should arrive at the Clubhouse 4 parking lot between 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Everyone will need to have a waiver—available at the Health Care Center, the Recreation Office in Building 5 and on Leisure World Buses—filled out prior to arrival, a picture ID and an insurance card. Wear a shortsleeved or sleeveless shirt and a face covering.

There are assigned times for each mutual: Mutuals 1 and 17: 8-8:45 a.m. Mutuals 10 and 14: 8:45-9:30 a.m. Mutuals 2 and 16: 9:30-10:15 a.m. Mutuals 12 and 15: 10:15-11 a.m. Mutuals 3 and 5: 11-11:45 a.m. Mutuals 6 and 7: 11:45 a.m.12:30 p.m.

Mutuals 8 and 9: 12:30-1:15 p.m.

Mutuals 4 and 11: 1:15-2 p.m.

There will be signs and personnel to help guide traffic.

For cars: Use the north entrance to access the clinic, held behind Clubhouse 4. After you get your shot, please exit onto Northwood Road.

For scooters, bikes, shuttles, golf carts and walk-up appointments: Enter off Northwood Road. Tables will be set up on the side of Clubhouse 4 closest to the roundabout.

There is no cost for the regular flu shot for LW residents. Highdose flu shots are not available at this event.

The first GRF/HCC drive-through flu shot clinic, held Oct. 1, was a huge success.
