Flu Clinic Schedule 2019

The Westford Health Department will sponsor flu clinics on the dates, times and locations listed below.  No appointments are necessary. ** Please note that because of limited pediatric vaccine, we request that those under the age of 36 months receive their vaccine from their MD if possible. All children under 18 years must be accompanied by a parent at all clinics. State supply of vaccine has been greatly reduced so clinics will be held until vaccine is depleted. Please bring insurance information to the clinic as the town can seek reimbursement from insurance carriers.
