(Franklin County, MA) With the mandated flu shots for students this year, many are asking where and when they can get one. The Cooperative Public Health Service, part of the Franklin Regional Council of Governments, is offering vaccines with no health insurance co-pay at wellness clinics throughout Franklin County. The first wellness clinic will be at Hawlemont EDS on September 26. Throughout October into early November, wellness clinics will take place at various Franklin County locations in Deerfield, Bernardston, Conway, Colrain, Heath, Buckland, and Erving.
