Northampton hosts annual ‘Boo! To The Flu’ vaccine clinic

NORTHAMPTON — The city's Department of Health and Human Services invites community members to roll up their sleeves and have some Halloween fun at its annual "Boo! to the Flu" vaccine clinic on Saturday at Smith Vocational and Agricultural High School at 80 Locust St. from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Public health nurses will be providing free flu vaccines for everyone ages 6 months and older, including high-dose flu vaccines for adults 65 and older.

While the clinic is free of charge, the city requests insurance information when available. Insurance reimbursement helps sustain future vaccine programs. Families are encouraged to come in costume, and there will be treats for children and Halloween fun for everyone.

Registration is encouraged at northamptonma.gov/2219/Vaccine-Programs, but walk-ins are also welcome. If you need assistance with registration, call 413-587-1214.
