Flu season is here and the Trumbull Health Department (THD) reminds residents that flu vaccinations are extremely important this year.   Taking into account the recent Covid-19 pandemic, the Trumbull Health Department offers drive-thru and walk-in vaccination options.  Residents can also schedule an appointment that is convenient for them.  THD will offer both the standard quad flu vaccine and the over 65 “senior” flu vaccine.

“The Health Department is making vaccination clinics easier, “said Luci Bango, THD Director of Health.  “We have streamlined our process to ensure residents receive vaccinations in a convenient and efficient manner.  Residents are encouraged to take advantage of our drive-thru clinic in order to minimize potential exposure to other illnesses.”

Drive-Thru vaccination clinic is scheduled for: Saturday, October 15 (for families and children 5 and up), at Trumbull Health Department, 335 White Plains Road from 9:00 – 11:00 am.   Enter through the Unity Park, Bayberry Lane Entrance.
