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 at our Town-Wide Clinic! The clinic will be held in the cafeteria at the John Glen Middle School (JGMS) on Saturday, October 19th from 9am-12pm 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.
Flu vaccine: Flu vaccinations will be offered to Bedford residents 6 months of age and older. However, if the resident is under the age of 9 years old, they must have received a flu vaccine in the past in order to attend this clinic. Flu, high-dose flu (65+), FluMist (nasal), and egg-free flu vaccines will be available.
COVID-19 Vaccinations: Pfizer COVID-19 vaccinations will be offered to Bedford residents 5 years old and older. In order to receive a COVID-19 vaccination, the resident must have received a COVID-19 vaccination in the past in order to attend this clinic. Please note only Pfizer vaccines will be offered.
