Stratford Health

Healthy People Thriving in a Healthy Stratford.

[Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont]

For generations, vaccinations have successfully limited the spread of contagious diseases, diminished their impacts, and kept the public safe and healthy. This decision reaffirms that medical decisions need to be determined by science, not conspiracy theories.

[Stratford Health @HealthStratford]

Startford Health Department will be there to answer any vaccine or health-related questions you might have!

It takes about 2 weeks for a flu vaccine to provide the best protection, and it will last about 6 months for most people. While it CAN prevent the flu for some, it WILL reduce the impact of symptoms if you do get sick. More at: https://t.co/2Jd4K1yLBi
