Kroger offering drive-thru flu shot center Saturday to help combat COVID-19 concerns

Kroger's two drive-thru flu shot centers take place at the Indianapolis Zoo Sept. 19 and 26 from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.

INDIANAPOLIS — Kroger is expanding its flu shot program during the global pandemic to combat COVID-19 concerns. 

The program includes touchless in-store appointments and drive-thru vaccinations at community flu shot centers. All flu shot appointments can be booked online. Pre-visit paperwork can be completed online to reduce contact and promote physical distancing, and many insurance companies cover the flu shot with no co-pay.

Kroger will have two drive-thru flu shot centers at the Indianapolis Zoo Sept. 19 and 26 from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.

“With so many health facilities already overburdened due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is more important than ever for all Americans to get a flu shot,” said Greg Fox, R.Ph. and leader of health & wellness for Kroger Central Division, in a press release. “At our COVID-19 drive-thru test sites, we assisted thousands of people in getting tests in a short amount of time. By using that model to offer flu shots, we hope to provide more customers with a safe, convenient option to get vaccinated."
