Flu vax clinic Thurs Dec 17, 4-7pm City Hall Annex

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.

Summary:
December 17 Flu vaccination clinic
4-7pm
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.

It's funny, I called 311 today (as the signs and web site suggests) to find out about upcoming flu clinics and the person not only knew nothing, but transferred me to an extension that went nowhere. So I called the Health Dept directly and they told me about tomorrow's clinic, which is still not on the web site.

No real point to this comment except to grouse about the City's crap-ass web site (and wonder why 311 was so clueless today).

This will be my third try at a flu shot and I plan to arrive on the early side of on time. Hopefully I'll get taken care of before they run out.

Same thing happened to me with a 311 call last week on another topic. I got transferred to nowhere. Maybe they are training someone....?

But it sounded like approval to open it up really came at the end of the day. I was just reading an article in the Globe about it, and they were saying it may be opened up:

Just a timing problem, I think.
