City of Melrose Releases Fall Flu Clinic Schedule
Community members are strongly encouraged to visit www.Cityofmelrose.org/2023FallFluClinics to preregister for a fall flu clinic and get protected against the flu today.
In an effort to prevent the flu and protect the health and wellness of the Melrose community, the City of Melrose Health and Human Services (HHS) Department, in partnership with the Wakefield Health Department, will host several Fall Flu Clinics.
“Getting a flu shot is the most important action a person can take to prevent flu and its potentially serious complications,” said Melissa Lowry, MS, BSN, RN, Public Health Nurse for the City of Melrose and Town of Wakefield. “Everyone six months and older should get a flu vaccine as soon as possible. Vaccination is especially important for people at higher risk and parents of young children.”
Community members are strongly encouraged to preregister for any of the flu clinics and can do so by visiting https://www.cityofmelrose.org/2023FallFluClinics. Please note that all insurances will be accepted, except United. Community members should wear short sleeves to their appointments.
