Board of Health – COVID-19 Update – Feb. 11, 2021

Notice – the correct number for the Berkshire County COVID Information line is:

413- 449-5575

There are more opportunities being offered around the county for vaccinations. Currently the group is still for 75 +, but the Governor announced yesterday afternoon that caregivers for these individuals will ALSO be able to get a vaccination at the same time. There are openings in Great Barrington this Saturday (February 12th) at the DuBois Middle School.

The best option for making appointments right now (and for those 65+ when that group starts up) is to call the Councils on Aging in Great Barrington at 413 528 – 1881, Sheffield at 413 229 – 7000, Egremont at 413 528 – 0182 ext. 16. All of these organizations have volunteers to assist you in making the reservations.

Mount Washington also has local volunteers who are happy to help out. Simply send me an email and I will get you connected with someone (ellielovejoy@townofmtwashington.com).

Group 2 of Step 2 is NOT open as of today. AS SOON AS WE KNOW IT IS OFFICIALLY OPEN FOR RESERVATIONS, WE WILL SEND OUT AN EMAIL AND ANNOUNCE IT ON THE WEBSITE.

Keep checking – the information available is changing frequently. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have questions.
