It’s not too late to vaccinate!

The flu is here and, according to the Center for Disease Control, the single best way to protect against the flu is to get vaccinated each year.

If you were unable to attend the on-campus flu shot clinics held in September and October, contact your primary care physician, local board of health, or local pharmacy to receive a flu shot. Walgreens (508-285-4961) and CVS (508-285-4032) in Norton are offering the vaccine. Please call  for more details. To locate other flu vaccine clinics in your area, please visit the Massachusetts Department of Public Health's Flu Vaccine Finder.

Remember, the flu ends with YOU! Please take care of yourself and our community.

Questions? Contact Cynthia Maricle, Student Health Services Coordinator at 508-286-8210 or maricle_cynthia@wheatonma.edu.
