At the Medical Reserve Corps meeting tonight the health department team announced a flu vaccination clinic tomorrow (Dec 17) at the City Hall Annex on 50 Evergreen Avenue, Somerville, MA 02143.

They will offer seasonal and H1N1 vaccinations. You can get both at the same session. They just got approval to open it up beyond the risk groups today, everyone can get it now, and it came too late to get it on the city web site.

December 17 Flu vaccination clinic

50 Evergreen Ave St, City Hall Annex

Tweetable form: Somerville ma: vax clinic 4-7pm (Thu Dec17). City Hall Annex. Seasonal and H1N1 both available.

Thank you for posting this! I'll be getting my H1N1 vax asap tomorrow.

My first official mission as a Medical Reserve Corps citizen in Somerville :)

I got mine tonight at the training session. I got the Flu Mist for the first time. Figured I'd try that to see what it was like. Rather nice not to get a shot, I could get used to that.

Oh, is this clinic only Flu Mist? I think that's not recommended for people over 50 (like me).

No, the shots are available as well. I just figured I'd try the mist since it was also offered, and I was eligible on all the items. I know it isn't right for everyone.

How are you feeling after getting both at the same time? I've never gotten a flu shot for fear of being that rare person who gets ill from it...

I was just thinking about that, actually. I was standing in the shower assessing how I felt. I decided I was completely normal. No fever, slightly sore in the arm that did get the shot if you touch it. No complications from the inhaled version.

I got both (one mist, one shot), and I feel fine, except for some soreness in my arm from the shot. Sometimes I get a little sick after a flu shot, but it's along the lines of sniffly for a day, not full-on flu. Definitely worth the trade-off.
