Flu Vaccine Clinics for NPS students

The following message is from the City of Newton Office of Health and Human Services.

Flu Vaccine Clinics

Newton’s Health and Human Services Department has initially scheduled two drive-through/walk-up, appointment-based, weekend flu clinics open to Newton residents and Newton Public Schools students and their families.

Registration is not yet open for these clinics. Online appointment registration will open by early next week at www.newtonma.gov/flu.

Adults and children older than 6 months may be vaccinated at these clinics. Some high-dose flu vaccine will be available for adults who are at least 65 years old. These clinics are free and health insurance information is requested, but not required. If you do not have a vehicle, you may walk-up to receive a vaccine.

  • Saturday, October 10, 9 a.m. to 12:00 noon, Newton North High School (457 Walnut Street)
  • Sunday, October 18, 9 a.m. to 12:00 noon, Newton South High School (140 Brandeis Road)

Additional dates may be added depending upon demand.

Appointments are required and may fill quickly. Alternatively, consider getting a flu shot at another time and place; they are available in many locations, including primary healthcare provider offices, local pharmacies, and urgent care clinics. A list of some additional options for flu shots can be found at newtonma.gov/flu.
