Enterprise Center to provide free flu shots on Oct. 17

The St. Louis Blues are partnering with Barnes-Jewish Hospital to provide free flu shots to those who do not have primary doctors or access to vaccinations.
Flu shots will be provided at Enterprise Center on Saturday, Oct. 17 from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.

The free flu shot event marks the first time Enterprise Center will be open to the public since the COVID-19 pandemic halted sporting events and concerts in March. Precautions will be taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including symptom screenings, mandatory masks and social distancing at Enterprise Center. Free parking will be available in adjacent parking lots courtesy of the Office of the Treasurer for the City of St. Louis.
Flu shots will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis, for adults and children six months and older.

"By getting a flu shot, you are helping to protect yourself and the people around you from flu this season, as well as helping reduce the strain on health care systems in our area as we continue to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic," says John Lynch, MD, President of Barnes-Jewish Hospital. "We are grateful for the partnership of organizations like Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis and the St. Louis Blues to make these flu shot events possible and to help keep our community safe."
