In response to the city’s Public Health Emergency regarding the flu, North End Waterfront Health is partnering with Mayor Menino and the Boston Public Health Commission to offer a free flu clinic on Saturday, January 12 from 8:30 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.

During these times, the flu shot will be free for everyone over the age of 18. Children under the age of 18 are not eligible to receive a free flu shot during the clinic on Saturday because children receive a more specialized dose of the vaccine. If your child needs a flu shot, please contact your pediatrician.

NEW Health is located at 332 Hanover St. For more information call our flu hotline at 617-643-8114.
