Free Flu Shots in Cambridge: Where and When

CAMBRIDGE, MA — City residents can receive a seasonal flu shot through the Cambridge Public Health Department’s annual flu clinics now through early November.

According to the city, there's no charge for the flu shots, but the health department still asks that people with health insurance bring their cards with them to the clinics.

Nasal spray vaccine will not be offered this year due to concerns about its effectiveness, the city said.
