The Board of Health provides a number of services that help keep our residents healthy, from ensuring food safety, investigating communicable illnesses, providing vaccines, and generally protecting the health of the citizens of Ashland. The Board of Health also provides weekly blood pressure screenings and monthly health education programs at the Ashland Senior Center.  

During these summer months we have focused on education around mosquito and tickborne illnesses, and provided tick removal kits to residents at events at the Community Center and Farmer’s Market.

The BOH is also gearing up for fall activities with education programs on Adult Vaccination, Fall Prevention, and Travel Health. We have scheduled Fall vaccine clinics for adults at Town Hall. See below for dates and times:

• Sept. 8 at 11 a.m. - 12:45 p.m.

• Sept. 15 at 11 a.m. - 12:45 p.m.

• Oct. 13 at 11 a.m. - 12:45 p.m.

• Oct. 27 at 11 a.m. - 12:45 p.m.

Pre-registration is required.  Please visit https://ashlandmass.com/178/Health for more information on the vaccines available and to register.

We continue to provide weekly vaccine clinics for school age children who are uninsured or underinsured to help eliminate cost as a barrier to vaccination. The BOH also provides free flu vaccine for any uninsured/underinsured residents. Call the Ashland Board of Health Office at 508-881-0100 ext. 1975 for more information.
