REMINDER: FREE COVID BOOSTER & FLU SHOTS

JOINT MINI-CLINIC; WEST FAIRLEE TOWN OFFICE; FRIDAY 28 JAN, 3-6 PM

“IT AIN’T OVER TIL IT’S OVER” – Yogi Berra

COVID19 in its various forms is still all around us! And until we’re all protected, it’s bound to stay that way! Protection comes in many forms: getting vaccinated, surviving a recent COVID infection, social distancing, hand washing, masking indoors. The most effective ways are the first two measures: vaccination and surviving an infection. But vaccination, with or without an infection, results in fewer deaths, fewer hospitalizations, and a lot fewer days feeling rotten, missing school, missing work, losing money. Tackling this infection by ‘being vaccinated’ means a primary series of two shots, and a booster shot five months later. So, here’s what’s being offered right in our neighborhood:

3:00 – 6:00 PM, This Friday 28 January at the West Fairlee Town Offices, **870

VT Route 113 (across the road from the West Fairlee Volunteer Fire Department).

FREE, NO PRE-REGISTRATION! (Bring your COVID Vaccination Card, *but if you
