Wayland Board of Health announces continued availability of free vaccines

Our Public Health Nurse is on duty to deliver Free flu vaccine which is still  available through the Wayland Board of Health for those individuals that were unable to attend our recent flu clinics.  

Pneumonia vaccine is also available.  Geared towards individuals aged 65 and older who have not yet received this vaccination, or individuals under age 65 with a chronic medical condition such as asthma, diabetes, or a medical condition that lowers the body’s resistance to infection, pneumonia vaccine is also recommended for those age 19-64 years who smoke.

Tdap vaccine (Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis/Whooping Cough) immunization is recommended for new parents, grandparents aged 64 or under, and child care providers.  This vaccine protects the babies with whom they have contact and is a one-time adult booster.   

Please contact the Board of Health office at 508-358-3617 to make an appointment for these vaccines, or if you have any questions.
