- Vehicles are requested to enter from 3rd Ave SE. Traffic guides and signs will be available.
- Please wear a face mask.
- Dress yourself and family members in short sleeved shirts.
- Dress infants and toddlers in a diaper or shorts.
- Stay in your vehicle. The Sanford Aberdeen team will administer the flu vaccine through your open car window and/or door.
