Flu Vaccine and COVID-19 Booster

The Board of Health encourages eligible residents to get a flu vaccine and COVID-19 booster. You can even get both vaccines at the same time. Federal public health officials anticipate high flu activity this season based on the high number of cases observed in the Southern Hemisphere during their winter season. The Board encourages residents to stay home when sick, cover coughs and sneezes, and practice good hand hygiene. Getting vaccinated against the flu and COVID-19 can help keep you, your family, and your community healthy.

Stay safe and be kind!

Respectfully submitted by the Board of Health,

Leanne Jasset, Chair
