Two Covid Vax Clinics Upcoming In West Hartford

WEST HARTFORD, CT — The summer of 2022 is probably not the summer of Covid-19 in our collective consciousness, but it still remains a factor in our lives.

One reason for that is the fact vaccines against the disease are easily available and West Hartford has two more summertime COVID-19 vaccination clinics coming up this month.

They are slated for:

• Tuesday, Aug. 16, from 9 to 10:30 a.m. at the Elmwood Community Center, 1106 New Britain Ave., West Hartford.

•Tuesday, Aug. 23, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. at the Bishops Corner Senior Center, 15 Starkel Road.

With transmission rates in double digits and cases still being counted, the impact of the pandemic medically is falling far short of the pandemic's darkest days in 2020 and 2021.

Experts say a major reason for this is the presence of easily accessible, free vaccines.

Those vaccines are available at your doctor, but also at the West Hartford-Bloomfield Health District office in Bloomfield, which is offering walk-in clinics over the summer.

There, Moderna and Pfizer vaccines and boosters are available for anyone 12 and over. People just need to bring in identification, an insurance car and their COVID vaccine car. There also isn't a fee.

The office is located at 580 Cottage Grove Road, Suite 100, in Bloomfield.
