Immunizations Program
Adult immunizations
The Health Department offers residents influenza and pneumonia vaccination. Each year, the Health Department sponsors a number of public clinics. Private clinics can be arranged through the Public Health Nurse for large or small organizations or businesses.
We also provide Tdap vaccinations for parents and caregivers of children under the age of 12 months under the State Cocooning Program to prevent whooping cough. Call for an appointment 203-481-4233.
Residents with disabilities unable to be vaccinated at a physician's office or clinic can be vaccinated by scheduling a home visit with the Public Health Nurse.
