Free vaccine clinics are back! Get your flu and COVID-19 vaccines for free at one of our upcoming clinics. No appointment necessary, walk-ins welcome. Getting vaccinated is a great way to protect yourself and your community. Find upcoming clinics at boston.gov/vaccine-clinics.

Vaccines

Vaccines help prevent serious illnesses like measles, chickenpox, whooping cough, polio, and more. With vaccine preventable illnesses on the rise, it is more important than ever to stay protected. Getting vaccinated is much safer than getting the disease, as it lowers the risk of your child being hospitalized or having long-term health problems.
