Stoneham Plans Flu Vaccine Clinic

STONEHAM, MA — Stoneham residents still needing a flu shot this year can get one later this month at a planned clinic at the Stoneham Town Hall.

The Stoneham Board of Health announced the clinic on Tuesday. The clinic is set for Oct. 25 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Town Hall Auditorium.

Residents can preregister for the clinic via a link here.

Preregistration is not required. Anyone arriving on the day of the clinic without preregistering, though, should bring their ID and health insurance/Medicare cards, as noted in this week’s announcement.

This flu clinic has both regular and high dose flu shots available. Anyone with questions should contact the Stoneham Board of Health at (781)-279-2621.

The CDC has recommended getting vaccinated against the flu before the end of October, if possible. The agency also noted in guidance last updated on Monday, however, that vaccination after October can still provide protection during peak flu season.
