Somerville Residents Able to Vote and Receive Flu Shot at Same Location Tuesday
Mayor
Joseph A. Curtatone, Election Commission Chairman Nicholas Salerno, and
the Somerville Health Department announced that the "Vote and Vax"
pilot program first introduced in November 2008 will repeated during
the upcoming Special U.S. Senate Primary Election on Tuesday, December
8th.
Voters from Ward 7, Precinct 3 will be able to cast a
ballot and receive a free seasonal flu shot at the West Somerville
Neighborhood School between 5-7 p.m.
Those wishing to receive
the seasonal flu vaccine should enter via the Raymond Avenue entrance,
but residents DO NOT need to vote in order to receive the free shot,
nor must they receive the shot in order to cast a ballot. All
Somerville residents over the age of 10 are eligible to receive a free
flu shot.
The "Vote and Vax" program will be providing
seasonal flu vaccine only; vaccination for H1N1 flu will not be
available at this clinic.
The full schedule of clinic dates,
times, and locations can be found on the Somerville website at
www.somervillema.gov, or by contacting 311. For transportation
assistance, please contact the Council on Aging at 617-625-6600 ext
