Upcoming Flu Clinics in Greenwich

The flu season is upon us and The Town of Greenwich is reminding residents that Influenza (commonly called “flu”) is a highly contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses.

These viruses are spread when a person who has the flu coughs, sneezes or touches a surface handled by others. It can be mild or severe and infects millions of Americans every year.
