Clinics are for Middletown residents only. There is no fee for the influenza vaccination.
The health department has received numerous inquiries concerning the influenza vaccine and if it has any effect on the current virus, Enterovirus-D68, which has been in the news recently. Although there is no vaccine for the Enterovirus, it is especially important to get the influenza vaccine to lessen the risk of having a more severe illness if you are infected with Enterovirus-D68 at the same time as influenza.
