Flu Wide Spread – Get Your Shot at the Board of Health

flushotThe Upton Board of Health announced today the flu is now widespread throughout Massachusetts. They are advising residents who have not been vaccinated yet to do so now. The flu season usually peaks in February, but the disease is still circulating through April and into May.

The Upton Board of health has only 30 doses of vaccine left in their inventory and said, “This is the time to come in and get the protection from what has already been a deadly flu season in Massachusetts.”

To make arrangement to have a flu shot contact Trish Parent RN at 508-529-3110 or 508-529-6813 – pparent@uptonma.gov

Aside from the Upton Board of Health, many area pharmacies still have the shots available. You can also check with your primary care physicians.
