Annual Drive-Through Clinic Enhances Access to Influenza and Pneumococcal Vaccinations for Seniors

Summary
A medical center in central Florida offers free influenza and pneumococcal vaccines to seniors during a 3-day, “drive-through” program offered each fall in the hospital’s parking deck. The initiative has significantly increased access to vaccinations among the elderly, with the annual number of immunizations provided increasing from 130 in 1999 (before the drive-through program began) to more than 1,700 in 2008.

Evidence Rating
Suggestive: The evidence consists of trend data on the number of vaccinations administered.
