Flu Vaccine Clinics Planned In North Andover Sept. 30 And Oct. 16

NORTH ANDOVER, MA — North Andover is offering a pair of flu shot clinics to residents 19 and older, the town said Tuesday.

The clinics are scheduled for Sept. 30, noon to 4 p.m., and Oct. 16, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. They will be held at the Senior Center. Residents can sign up for an appointment here or call the Health Department at 978-688-9540.

High dose vaccines are also available to those 65 and up.

Residents will have to wait outside until their appointment, so they are encouraged to dress appropriately for the weather but to ensure their upper arm is accessible for the shot. Residents will be required to wear masks covering their mouths and noses.

You will also have to bring the consent form and either your insurance cards or copies.
