Flu Shots Available in Attleboro and Seekonk

Flu season is knocking on the door, and many doctors recommend you get vaccinated to avoid getting sick. There are opportunities for flu shots this month in Attleboro and Seekonk.

A flu clinic will take place this Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at Jonathan's Coffee Cafe, located at 68 Union St. in Attleboro.
