Wayland Health Department Reminds Residents of Upcoming Senior Flu Clinic – John Guilfoil Public Relations LLC

For immediate release

WAYLAND Director Julia Junghanns and the Wayland Health Department wish to remind residents of this weeks free flu clinic for seniors.

The seniors-only drive-thru clinic will be held Wednesday, Sept. 28, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the old Whole Foods parking lot at Wayland Village Plaza, 297 Boston Post Road. Attendees shouldenter the plaza through the Pelham Island Road entrance.

Please note that pre-registration is required. Interested seniors should register here. Those who need help registering should call the vaccination hotline at 508-358-6805 and leave a message, and someone will call back to assist.

The injectable, seasonal quadrivalent Influenza vaccine will be available, as well as the high-dose influenza vaccine, which is authorized for individuals aged 65 and up.

Residents are asked to bring all insurance and Medicare cards to the clinics.

The best way to protect against flu and its potentially serious complications is with a flu vaccine. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that almost everyone age six months and older get a seasonal flu vaccine each year, ideally by the end of October. As long as flu viruses are circulating, vaccination should continue throughout flu season, which may continue into January or later.
