The Health Department and Boards of Health of Cape Ann and Hamilton and Wenham will be providing free influenza vaccine at clinics and events throughout the area over the coming months. We have ample supply this year and the vaccine is free for everyone.
Flu vaccine is recommended for everyone over six months of age. Anyone wishing to receive vaccine should bring their insurance card so we can bill their insurance company. If you do not have insurance you are eligible for free vaccine. We will not charge or turn anyone away who is appropriate to receive vaccine. Please wear loose fitting sleeves to more easily facilitate vaccination
