FARMINGTON — Healthy Community Coalition plans to host several COVID-19 upcoming walk-in vaccine clinics for adults.
The first is scheduled for 3-6 p.m. Tuesday, April 5, at the Jay Town Office, 340 Main St.

Individuals 18 and older are eligible to receive the vaccine. Vaccines are provided at no cost and all are welcome, according to a news release from the coalition.
Those attending will be administered their choice of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine and can get their first, second, first booster dose, or second booster for those ages 50 and older. Staff from NorthStar EMS and Healthy Community Coalition of Greater Franklin County will administer the shots.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, individuals are eligible for a booster dose five months after the last dose in their primary series (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna) and at least two months after receiving the J&J/Janssen COVID-19 vaccination.
People older than 50 now can get an additional booster four months after the prior dose to increase their protection.
Be sure to bring your COVID-19 vaccination card. Those with health insurance are asked to bring their cards with them also, but insurance is not mandatory.
