Missed Chelsea’s Vaccine Clinic? No worries — we’re having another one in TUNBRIDGE! ❤️

📍 Tunbridge Town Hall
📅 Sunday, October 18th
⏰ 8:00–10:00 AM (during the recreational breakfast!)

One BIG thing we learned from our Chelsea clinic is that PRE-REGISTERING makes everything go SO much faster! 🙌

🚶 WALK-INS ARE WELCOME! But if you don’t want to wait in line and would rather be in and out quickly, PLEASE pre-register!

🌐 As we all know, the internet can be a little slow in our neck of the woods! 😂 Running insurance on-site can take 10–20 minutes per person! When you pre-register, the pharmacy can process your insurance ahead of time, saving everyone time!

✅ PRE-REGISTER HERE:

📞 No internet? No problem!
You can call:

* Conley’s Pharmacy: 978-356-2121
* Me (Jodi, your Community Nurse): 802-249-8956

I’m happy to help get you registered! 😊

💉 IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

* Flu and COVID vaccines are available for walk-ins.
* Want a vaccine other than flu or COVID (such as shingles or Tdap)? You MUST pre-register so the pharmacy can bring the correct vaccine!
* Anyone under age 14 MUST pre-register!

❤️ BONUS! You can also get your cardiovascular screening while you’re there! A great opportunity to check in on your heart health!

We had a wonderful turnout in Chelsea, and I can’t wait to see everyone in Tunbridge!

Come get vaccinated, check your numbers, grab some breakfast, and say hello! 🥞💉❤️
