Allston-Brighton Flu Clinics

The Boston Health Commission has listed dates and locations for flu clinics, so that members of the public can get immunizations for influenza (the flu).

While the calendar does not specify whether the immunizations are for seasonal influenza (ordinary flu) or novel H1N1 influenza of swine-origin (swine flu), my impression from the dates of the clinics is that they will offer both.

Those flu clinics listed for Allston-Brighton are all run by the Joseph M. Smith Community Health Center (617-783-0500), but are being run off-site at the Gardner Pilot Academy or Jackson-Mann Community Center:
  • Wednesday, October 14th, 3-6 pm. Run by: Joseph Smith Community Health Center. Location: Gardner Pilot Academy, 30 Athol Street, Allston.
  • Thursday, October 15th, 3-6 pm. Run by: Joseph Smith Community Health Center. Location: Jackson-Mann Community Center, 500 Cambridge Street, Allston.
  • Thursday, October 22nd, 3-6 pm. Run by: Joseph Smith Community Health Center. Location: Gardner Pilot Academy, 30 Athol Street, Allston.
  • Thursday, October 29th, 3-6 pm. Run by: Joseph Smith Community Health Center. Location: Jackson-Mann Community Center, 500 Cambridge Street, Allston.

UPDATE (10/21/09): Delivery of H1N1 vaccination doses has been delayed, so public flu clinics will likely be delayed until later in November. Contact the clinics themselves for more information and updated dates.
