Needham Public Health to Hold Flu Vaccine Clinics (Ages 8+) 

Needham Public Health will host Influenza Vaccination Clinics in September and October to help prevent the spread of influenza this season.

*Please note the dates have changed.* The clinics will be held Wednesday, September 23, 2020 from 3 pm to 7 pm 

and Saturday, October 3, 2020 from 11 am to 4 pm. Additional clinics may be added. The flu vaccine is covered by health insurance. For those without health insurance, the vaccine will be provided free of charge.

The first hour of each clinic will be reserved for individuals 65 years of age and older. All flu vaccination clinics will be held at The Center at the Heights (300 Hillside Ave, Needham). Face masks will be required, and social distancing procedures will be in place. Registration is required. 

As we enter flu season during the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s important to understand the differences and similarities between COVID-19 and influenza. Learn more about the symptoms of each here: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/symptoms/flu-vs-covid19.htm 

Along with getting the flu vaccine, there are things you can do to protect yourself and others from both influenza and COVID-19:  

  • Stay 6 feet away from others and wear masks in public spaces;
  • Stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness.
  • Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick.
  • Wash your hands and avoid touching your face.
  • Call your healthcare provider if you feel you have any signs or symptoms of Influenza or COVID-19. 

If you have any question about Influenza Clinics or COVID-19 please call the Needham Health Department at 781-455-7940 or email tzike@needhamma.gov.
