ENFIELD, CT — COVID-19's effects may not be as devastating as they were at the onset of the pandemic and, key to that, is the presence of vaccines and booster shots.

That's why state health experts say such vaccines are important and the Enfield Senior Center this month will host two more vaccine clinics courtesy of the state Department of Public Health's "Vaccine Van."

Vaccine visits are slated for 4 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, June 16, and 4 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, June 30, at the senior center, which is located at 299 Elm St., Enfield.
