Officials open flu shot kiosk in N.C. airport

Posted to: Health and Medicine North Carolina


CHARLOTTE, N.C. 

Travelers passing through a North Carolina airport can roll up their sleeves for a flu shot before their flight rolls down the runway.

The AeroClinic at Charlotte Douglas International Airport has a flu shot kiosk inside the terminal staffed by nurses and will be offering shots beginning today. There are similar sites in Atlanta and Philadelphia.

Atlanta-based AeroClinic, in partnership with Presbyterian Healthcare, plans to open a walk-in clinic at the Charlotte airport in early 2010. That clinic will provide acute care and pharmaceutical products.

The airport served more than 34 million passengers in 2008 and offers 655 daily flights.
