Senior Health & Wellness Fair – October 6th
The Windsor Health Department will be holding a walk-in Flu Shot Clinic in conjunction with the Senior Health and Wellness Fair on Thursday, October 6, 2022 from 8:30 AM – 12:00 PM at the LP Wilson Center, 599 Matianuck Avenue.
Persons 18 years old and older are eligible to receive a flu shot and those 65 years old and older are eligible to receive the high dose flu shot at the Windsor Flu Shot Clinic.
Both the high dose and standard dose flu shots are quadrivalent vaccines which means that they provide protection for 2 influenza A viruses and 2 influenza B viruses. The high dose flu shot contains four times the amount of antigen which is the ingredient that prompts the body to make antibodies creating a stronger immune response. This year the CDC has recommended that those 65 years old and older receive the high dose influenza vaccine.
