Farmington Valley Health Urges Vaccinations Still

CANTON, CT — Covid-19 and vaccines may not be dominating the news like they once did — and that's a good thing — and the way to keep it that way is to stay on top of vaccinations.

Which is why Covid vaccines are still occupying the time of the Canton-based regional Farmington Valley Health District, which on Wednesday issued another reminder for folks to schedule their vaccinations.

Getting vaccinated is seen as key to either staving off infection or practically guaranteeing a mild illness if infected.

The FVHD serves the towns of Avon, Barkhamsted, Canton, Colebrook, East Granby, Farmington, Granby, Hartland, New Hartford and Simsbury.

Residents aged 18 and up of those towns are being reminded to schedule their summertime vaccination appointments, especially since schools will open in about a month and a half.

There are multiple ways to scheduled your appointments:

• The flyer available online and through social media has a QR code that can be used.

• Folks can visit www.fvhd.org/vaccination to set up and appointment.

• Or they can call the FVHD, located at 95 River Road, Suite C, Canton, at 860-352-2333. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
