Drive Thru Flu Clinics Are Back at Nurture Pediatrics — Here Is Everything You Need to Know
Fall is here, and so is flu season. This year we are making it easier than ever to protect your family with our drive thru flu clinics at both our Smyrna and Nolensville locations. No waiting rooms, no long waits inside, just a quick and convenient stop that could make a big difference for your child's health this season.
Why a Drive Thru Flu Clinic
We know how busy fall gets for families. Between school, sports, activities, and everything in between, finding time for a traditional appointment can feel like one more thing on an already full list. Our drive thru clinics are designed with that in mind. Pull up, roll down the window, and our team will take care of the rest. It is that simple.
We also know that flu season does not wait, and neither should your family's protection. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all children six months of age and older receive an annual flu vaccine, ideally by the end of October. Our drive thru clinic schedule is built to help every family in our community meet that window.

We have multiple Saturday morning clinics scheduled at both locations so you can find a time that works for your family.

Appointments Are Required
To make sure our staff can plan appropriately and keep things moving smoothly for every family, appointments are required for our drive thru flu clinics. Walk-ins are not available for this event. Scheduling your appointment ahead of time also means less waiting for you when you arrive.
Booking is easy. Call our Smyrna office at 615-223-5565 or our Nolensville office at 615-776-8703 to get on the schedule. Spots fill up as the season gets going, so we encourage families to book sooner rather than later.
A Few Things to Know Before You Come
Please have your child's insurance card ready when you arrive. Let us know at the time of scheduling if your child has any known allergies, particularly egg allergies, or any medical conditions that may affect vaccine eligibility, so we can make sure the visit goes smoothly. If your child is receiving the flu vaccine for the very first time and is under nine years of age, they may need a second dose given at least four weeks later. We are happy to talk through that with you when you call.
What the Flu Shot Does for Your Family and Your Community
Getting your child vaccinated is not just about keeping them healthy, though it certainly does that. It also helps protect the people around them who may be more vulnerable, including newborns who are too young to be vaccinated, older family members, and classmates or friends with underlying health conditions. When more families in our community are vaccinated, the whole community benefits.
Every year we see the impact that influenza has on children and families, and every year we are reminded of how much a simple annual vaccine can prevent. We are proud to offer this service in a format that makes it as easy as possible for every family to participate.
