Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The Hanover Board of Health, in conjunction with the Hanover Visiting
Nurse Association, has scheduled their annual public flu clinics to be
held at the *Hanover Council on Aging*, 665 Center Street, Hanover
for:
Tuesday, October 4, 2011 1:30 – 3:00 p.m.
Friday, October 14, 2011 9:00 – 11:00 a.m.
Please note:
Because of budget cuts across all departments, the Massachusetts
Department of Public Health is no longer able to provide free vaccine
to cities and towns except to those residents who are either
un-insured or under-insured (meaning their health plan will not cover
the cost of a flu shot).
The Board of Health has purchased an adequate supply of flu vaccine to
make up for the lesser amount received from the State.
*** All persons will be asked to present an insurance card (most
insurance plans welcome) and the insurance plan will cover the cost of
the flu shot ***. No one will be turned away on the basis of insurance
eligibility.
The BOH is no longer able to provide pneumonia or tetanus vaccine
because the Department of Public Health is no longer providing free
vaccine AND the because of the high cost to the Board of Health to
purchase these vaccines in advance.
Please remember to wear short sleeves.
If you require additional information, please contact the Hanover
Board of Health Office at (781) 826-4611 or health@hanover-ma.gov
.
