Health and Human Services
The Wakefield Health Department promotes the personal and environmental health of the community. We achieve this through education and policy development supported by enforceable regulations and collaboration with other people and organizations. We offer a wide variety of services including, but not limited to: vaccinations, inspections of restaurants and rental housing, informational sheets, healthy eating and living activities, pest control, and a medication take-back and sharps dropbox.
Reminders
Rabies reports and burial permits should be submitted to the Town Clerk's office, not the Health Department.
Board of Health
The Wakefield Board of Health is the policy-making, rule-making, and adjudicatory body for public health. State law give boards of health specific authority and duties. The Wakefield Board of Health may make local public health rules that apply throughout the board’s jurisdiction.
