Pittsfield Health Department Announces Homebound Vaccinations for Residents
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The City of Pittsfield Health Department announces flu and COVID-19 vaccinations for Pittsfield residents who are homebound (cannot leave home without considerable and taxing effort, or where it is medically inadvisable).
People should speak with their physicians to see if they should also get a pneumonia or RSV vaccination. These vaccinations are the best way to prevent and/or reduce serious illness and hospitalization. Vaccination is also a key step in preventing family and friends who are at high risk for serious illness from getting sick as well.
Homebound residents who are seeking flu and COVID-19 vaccinations should call the Pittsfield Health Department at (413) 499-9411. Department staff will schedule a time for the public health nurse to make a home visit to administer vaccinations. There is no out of pocket charge for this service.
In addition, public flu and COVID-19 clinics have been scheduled for September 30 and October 7 from 9:30a.m. to 11:30a.m. at the Pittsfield Senior Center. Appointments are required. To register for a vaccination, please call the Pittsfield Health Department at (413) 499-9411.
