We are planning to conduct another Flu & Pneumonia Clinic this fall. Several individuals have questioned whether there will be restrictions due to COVID 19 issues. We are planning to hold our clinic in mid-October. Plans are already in place to hold the event indoors. Should health concerns arise between now and the fall, we will do whatever the health department feels is appropriate for our population. More information with regard to date and time of our clinic including registration information will come. If you have questions, please contact the Senior Affairs Office at 860-887-5581 ext. 6
