NORWALK, Conn. — The Norwalk Health Department (NHD) is offering flu shots at its annual vaccination clinics, kicking off Thursday, Sept. 24.
Through a Connecticut Department of Public Health pilot program, this year the department will also provide free vaccines for uninsured and underinsured adults.
Clinics will be held Thursdays this fall at 137 East Ave. Appointments are required. The schedule includes:
• Sept. 24, 10 a.m. to noon
• Oct. 1, 4 to 6:30 p.m.
• Oct. 8, 4 to 6:30 p.m.
• Oct. 15, 4 to 6:30 p.m.

The department offers standard flu vaccines for anyone ages 3 and older, as well as vaccines recommended for people 65 and older. Children ages 6 months to 3 years old can make an individual appointment by calling 203-854-7776.
Flu shots are free with most insurance. Residents should bring any insurance cards with them to their appointment.
Standard vaccines cost $50 for those without coverage, and high-dose or recombinant vaccines cost $90. No one will be turned away because they cannot pay.
