Health District Offers Flu Vaccines

The Health District offers preservative-free, injectable vaccine to anyone ages 4 years and older, no residency requirements. Due to the fact that the nasal spray vaccine was found ineffective, we will not be offering it this year. We will not be offering the pneumonia vaccines at the clinics listed below.

YOUR participation in these clinics helps us to be prepared and test our plans for a public health emergency. Our goal is to make our clinics fast - the average time in and out the door is two minutes.

Participants are asked to wear short sleeves or loose-sleeved clothes to the clinic according to the following schedule:

Berlin: Berlin Community Center, 230 Kensington Road, Berlin, CT

Wed, October 19, 2016 2:30 pm – 6:00 pm

Newington: Newington Senior and Disabled Center, 120 Cedar Street, Newington, CT

Wed, October 26, 2016 2:30pm – 6:00pm

Rocky Hill: Rocky Hill Community Center, 55 Church Street, Rocky Hill, CT

Thurs, October 20, 2016 2:30 pm – 6:00 pm

We bill all Aetna, Anthem, CIGNA Healthcare, ConnectiCare, and certain United Healthcare Medicare plans and Medicare Part B insurances. For all others, the cost is $25.00 cash. Participants must bring their ID card from one of these plans to the clinic to receive their flu vaccination at no charge. No one will be denied vaccination for flu because of an inability to pay.

Berlin, Newington, Rocky Hill and Wethersfield residents who are homebound may call the Health District at 860-721-2818 to arrange for a home visit. A recorded message with Health District clinic dates is also available by calling 860-721-2822 and choosing option 1. Information and forms will be available at the clinic and on the Central Connecticut Health District’s web site at www.ccthd.org.
