When the leaves start to change and the air becomes crisp, you know what it means—stuffy noses, sore throats, and high fevers. Thankfully the Brookline Department of Public Health and the Public Schools of Brookline are making it easy to avoid the flu so you can enjoy fall and winter without blowing through boxes of tissues. There are four scheduled flu clinics throughout Brookline, and they’re open to all of Brookline’s adults, seniors, and children six months and older.

The dates are:
Tuesday, October 30, at the Brookline Senior Center (93 Winchester Street) from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Wednesday, November 14, at the Devotion School (345 Harvard Street) from 3 p.m. – 6 p.m.
Sunday, November 18, at the Baker School (205 Beverly Road) from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Tuesday, December 4, at the Brookline Health Department (11 Pierce Street) from 4 p.m. – 6 p.m.

Some important reminders: the vaccine is free of charge, you should receive the vaccine every year, and you must bring all health insurance cards. So forget that fear of needles and make sure you get vaccinated. If you any have further questions, please call 617-730-2336.
