We encourage you to continue monitoring the websites below for additional scheduling opportunities as more vaccine becomes available. In addition, we suggest calling the phone numbers listed below to try to schedule an appointment (be prepared to be on hold for a prolonged time). At this point, anyone 65 and older may register to receive a vaccine, regardless of health status.

The physicians at GMA feel confident in the safety and effectiveness of both vaccines that are currently being offered.

Flu Vaccine Update: This season our physicians have elected to administer Flublok which is: 1) a higher dose vaccine – three times the strength of the regular dose 2) quadrivalent – covers four strains instead of just three and 3) Recommended for patients eighteen years and older.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the procedures for the administration of the flu vaccine for our patients has changed this season.
GMA is currently offering Drive-Thru Flu Vaccine times on Thursday’s and Friday’s from 1:30pm – 4:30pm. No appointment is needed.
