Ochsner Baton Rouge will hold a Flu Shot Fair on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 9-10, with walk-up or drive-thru service at several area locations, making the process quick, easy and safe.

The Flu Shot Fair is open to adults and children as young as 6 months old. To make an appointment, click here or call 866-OCHSNER to preregister. Flu shots are available regardless of patient status with Ochsner, though online registration requires a free MyOchsner account.

Appointments are preferred but not required.

Each location will offer:
