Every year we are reminded to get our flu shot, and this year is no different.

Doctors say getting a flu shot can lower your chance of getting really sick with flu.

Anyone older than six months can get one and if you are in a high risk category for things like age or diabetes, it’s always a better idea to do more to protect yourself.

St. Luke’s is giving out flu shots to those 12 and older drive-thru style this weekend by appointment.

It’s happening from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in front of St. Luke’s outpatient surgery center on Eagle road in Meridian.
