Somerville Expands Free Vaccine Clinics, Shares Updated Flu & COVID-19 Vaccine Guidance

The Somerville Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is expanding access to free vaccination clinics to help residents stay healthy through the fall and winter. They are also sharing updated flu and COVID-19 vaccine guidance for the 2025–26 season. Clinics will be held throughout the city from October 2025 through April 2026. 

This year, Somerville is following the latest recommendations from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH): bit.ly/MassVaccineInfo
 

Vaccines Offered:

• Influenza (flu) (for anyone age 6 months and older)
• High-Dose Influenza (for ages 65+)
• COVID-19 (ages 6 months and older)

Somerville’s free vaccine clinics are open to all residents regardless of insurance or immigration status, and no one will be turned away. Pre-registration is strongly recommended, but limited walk-ins are welcome while supplies last. Please note that clinics held at the Council on Aging are limited to residents ages 18+. All ages are welcome at all other clinics. 

Upcoming clinics in October and November are listed below. Additional clinics planned for December and January can be found on somervillema.gov/vaccinations. More clinics are expected to be added to the website throughout the flu season. 
 

Vaccines are provided by the Somerville Public Health Nursing Department with support from the Medical Reserve Corps and local health partners.

Residents may also receive flu and COVID-19 vaccines from their healthcare provider or at participating local pharmacies. To find other locations, visit Vaccines.gov, call 2-1-1.
