HHS plans free flu shot clinics to test preparedness 

Broomfield’s Health and Human Services Department (HHS) has scheduled two flu shot clinics to test the city’s ability to administer mass quantities of vaccines for emergency preparedness.   

The clinics are scheduled Sunday, Oct. 29, from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m., or until all vaccine is administered. 

This year, vaccines will be offered at two sites. A drive-through site will be located at the Broomfield County Commons Park, west of the Paul Derda Recreation Center, 13201 Lowell Blvd.  A walk through site will be at the Broomfield Community Center, 280 Lamar St.  

The walk-through site at the Community Center will be for families with children under 12, and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. 

Those who participate are asked to wear a short sleeved shirt or blouse under sweaters or coats.  The department will be administering injectable vaccines only – no nasal mist will be available at either site.
