Immunization and Communicable Diseases
Adults need to be immunized against tetanus and diphtheria every ten years. This booster can be given free of charge by your physician or at the local Health Unit. Every year, you should also receive your flu shot to protect not only yourself, but also those around you. Multiple flu clinics are held throughout the Eastern Counties every fall. You can visit this website during flu season for information on the clinics nearest you.
