The Boothbay Region Health Center will be offering flu shots both by appointment and walk-in from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 28. We have both regular flu shots and senior (65+) flu shots available. To make an appointment, call (207) 633-1075. You do not need to be a current patient to receive a flu shot. If you have health insurance, we will bill your health insurance company. If you are uninsured, the charge will be the lowest possible to cover the cost of the vaccine and the shot administration.

We are located in the Meadow Mall (across from Hannaford) at 185 Townsend Ave, Boothbay Harbor. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are recommending that everyone over 6 months of age receive a flu vaccine this year.

Fundraising update: Less than $17,000 left to go! As of Oct. 15, 28 local businesses and 124 local and seasonal families have donated $93,191 towards our goal of $110,000 to save our community Health Center. If you'd like to ensure that we reach (or exceed!) our goal, please send your tax-deductible contribution to BRHC at 185 Townsend Ave., Suite R, Boothbay Harbor, ME 04538. Call during office hours to leave a credit card donation, or donate online at Boothbayhealthcare.org.
