    COVID-19 Vaccine Info

    Posted on July 3, 2021 by East Lyme

    The Senior Center is working with the Emergency Management
    department to identify any resident who is homebound and would not
    be able to physically get to a vaccination site. Please
    contact the Senior Office if you know such a person.

    If you are having difficulty getting registered, you can
    contact the Senior Center office. We can offer some
    assistance with the process. However, we cannot
    make appointments if none are available. For most
    registration systems, you need an email address. If you
    do not have an email address, that will make the
    process more difficult but we will work with you to
    schedule your appointment.

    If you require a ride to your appointment, the Senior
    Center office can help secure transportation or we can
    provide the ride. Do not wait to ask for transportation.
