The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone aged 6 months and older get the 2024-2025 flu and COVID-19 vaccines. To support access to recommended vaccines, the Bedford Health Department, in conjunction with our volunteer vaccinating team, is offering free flu and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccinations during our Office Hours Clinics!
These clinics will be held in the on the second floor of the Town Center (“the Yellow Building”) in the Flint Room on Wednesday, November 6th and Thursday, November 21st from 4:00pm-6:00pm, by appointment.
The CDC has reviewed the available scientific evidence and concluded that people may get flu and COVID-19 vaccines at the same visit, making it easier to stay up to date with CDC recommendations. If you choose to get your vaccines at different times, there is no minimum waiting period between vaccines.
For more information on these vaccines, please see the links below.
