“We know that there is a large percentage of the population that has already been vaccinated,” stated Marco Palmeri, Director of Health for the Bristol-Burlington Health District. However, we need to continue our efforts to reach as many people as possible so we will be deploying these mobile clinics and spreading the word with the hope that people pass the message to their friends, neighbors and loved ones that getting vaccinated is easy.”
Bristol residents who wish to take advantage of these clinics are encouraged to bring an ID and their insurance card, if applicable, and to complete the COVID-19 Vaccination Intake forms, if possible beforehand, which can be found on the Bristol All Heart website: bristolallheart.com, click on the link under New and Noteworthy to access information about COVID-19 vaccines.
