Southern Berkshire Public Health Collaborative Registration has started for South County clinics

All clinics will have the updated COVID vaccine and regular-dose flu vaccine for people six months or older and senior-dose flu vaccine for people 65 or older.

South County — The Southern Berkshire Public Health Collaborative (SBPHC) has opened registration for 17 mobile clinics being held in South County.

A complete list of clinics can be found here.

All clinics will have the updated COVID vaccine and regular-dose flu vaccine for people six months or older and senior-dose flu vaccine for people 65 or older. Registration is strongly recommended for these clinics in order to ensure proper staffing and vaccine levels.
