    Roll up your sleeve: Free flu shots this Sunday in Waterford

    Waterford — Ledge Light Health District will host its 9th annual Drive Thru to Beat the Flu clinic from noon to 2 p.m. Sunday, while supplies last, in the parking lot of Waterford High School, 20 Rope Ferry Road.

    Participants will be required to wear a mask, stay in their vehicle and practice social distancing.

    Regular flu shots will be provided at no cost to individuals 18 years and older who live in East Lyme, Groton, Ledyard, Lyme, New London, Old Lyme, Stonington, North Stonington and Waterford. District residents who need the high dose vaccine should contact their pharmacy, medical provider or the Visiting Nurse Association of Southeastern Connecticut.

    The clinic is a full-scale exercise that allows Ledge Light Health District staff and partners to practice mass-dispensing plans for public health emergencies.

    It is recommended that people wear a tank top, short-sleeve shirt or loose-fitting clothes to provide easy access to the upper arm. A flu consent form is required for each participant. Forms can be downloaded from www.llhd.org or obtained at the drive-thru. For more information, call (860) 448-4882.
