A special van will be traveling across eastern Oklahoma this month offering flu vaccine for children ages 6 months to 18. The Caring Van will offer flu vaccines on a first come, first serve basis. Officials say for each child immunized, a parent or guardian must be present to fill out the necessary paperwork.

The Oklahoma Caring Van Program is administered through The Oklahoma Caring Foundation, Inc., a non-profit organization established by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma.
