| Primary health care services are a
basic necessity. We ensure that these services are
available and accessible to all Windsor residents
regardless of age, sex, race or economic status.
Health Screenings
We conduct an annual Senior Health Fair in
cooperation with the Senior and Adult team. This fair
is designed to bring medical screening and a variety
of health information to approximately 920 Windsor
seniors and caregivers.
A variety of screening clinics are sponsored to
promote the early detection of cancer.
Immunization Clinics
The health department administers approximately
1,250 doses of flu vaccine and pneumonia vaccine to
senior citizens at two flu clinics annually.
Together with the Town of Bloomfield, a rabies
vaccination clinic is held each year to administer
approximately 200 vaccinations to the dogs and cats of
Windsor and Bloomfield residents.
Under the state immunization program we distribute
over 10,200 doses of vaccine to Windsor physicians.
