The Health Department is holding morning flu clinic on Thursday, October 20, 2022 for residents ages 18+. This is a second clinic for our community.
Advance registration is required; we are unable to guarantee vaccines for walk-ins.
The clinic runs from 10 a.m. to noon p.m. and will take place at the Tolles Parsons Center (500 Washington Street). Homebound residents are encouraged to schedule an at-home appointment. Call the Health Department at 781-489-4356.
Vaccines are free, but if you have health insurance, please bring your insurance card.
TWO Flu vaccines are available: the standard dose and high-dose. The standard quadrivalent vaccine is available for ages 18+. Anyone aged 65+ is eligible to receive a high-dose vaccine.
The high-dose quadrivalent vaccine is an inactivated vaccine (meaning it uses the killed version of the germ that causes a disease) approved for people 65+. This vaccine contains four times the antigen of standard-dose inactivated flu vaccines. Antigen is the part of the vaccine that helps your body build up protection against flu viruses.
