All events - Vaccinated individuals do not require a mask, non-vaccinated or those vaccinated less than 2 weeks must wear a mask.
The Northville Walgreens and other nearby Walgreens now have both Pfizer and Moderna booster vaccines. There is also a 3rd Moderna vaccine available which is stronger than the booster shot and may be a better choice for those over 65. It should be 6 months since your 2nd vaccine. You may make an appointment for your vaccine online, by phone, or in person.
If you still need to get a vaccine, getting appointments is highly dependent on accessing the internet and having some familiarity with using web tools. Please check on friends and family who may need help getting an appointment. Most sites are set up so that a friend can register someone with limited access. Millions have been vaccinated with no ill effects.
We are happy to announce that Warren County has created a new CVID-19 vaccination "waiting list" for Warren and Hamilton counties residents ages 60 and over!
Those interested can sign up via computer, email or by phone. Those who want to get on the list can find more information here about how to sign up: https://bit.ly/3mu4n4D.
Emails can be sent to: [email protected].
Those without Internet access can call 518-824-8804.
At this point, all who want a vaccine should be able to contact someone to help. I’m happy to be a contact at 716-830-7967
Please help friends get this important defense.
Please wear masks, avoid groups, wash hands, stay well
