BACH to offer flu shot clinics

Blanchfield Army Community Hospital has two upcoming events for TRICARE beneficiaries age six months and older to receive their seasonal influenza vaccination.

Federal and contract civilians employed on Fort Campbell, including healthcare workers, childcare providers and teachers, who require a seasonal influenza vaccine as a condition of employment may also receive a flu shot at one of these events.

A drive-thru clinic, located at the Shadow Logistics and Repair Facility on Hedgerow Road between B and C Ave. on Fort Campbell, is scheduled 8 a.m.-3 p.m., October 18-20. The facility contains a drive-thru bay where healthcare personnel can administer the vaccine and a parking area where patients can complete a 15-minute post-vaccination observation period.

A walk-in clinic open after normal hours is scheduled 4-6:30 p.m., October 24, 25 and 27 at Byrd Soldier and Family Medical Home, located on post at 7973 Thunder Blvd. near Gate 10.
