From the Town of Avon:

September 15, 2020

The Farmington Valley Health District (FVHD) in collaboration with the Farmington Valley Visiting Nurses’ Association (FVVNA) are hosting two separate drive thru influenza vaccination clinics this fall. Both agencies are actively engaged in COVID-19 response activities and wish to ensure the residents of the FVHD are prepared this fall to safely receive their annual flu shot. A drive-thru clinic provides a safe alternative to public clinics and ensures adequate social distancing. Interested residents ages 9 years old and up are eligible to receive the flu shot. The dates of the two clinic options are:

1. Wednesday September 30, 2020 from 1-5pm at the Avon DPW facility on 11 Arch Rd.
2. Wednesday October 7, 2020 from 1-5pm at 251 Weatogue Fire Station on Hopmeadow Rd.

Pre-registration is required for all residents who wish to be vaccinated. A link to the pre-registration survey can be located on both the FVHD and FVVNA websites. Additionally, once you complete the pre-registration form, you MUST also complete the online medical screening questionnaire. Once completed, you MUST print this page and bring it with you. Pre-registration will close approximately two weeks before each clinic. No Walk-ins (or drive-ins) will be allowed. Vaccine is limited to 200 persons per clinic. Bring the following items with you on vaccination day:

1. License (as applicable) and insurance card for each person
2. Printed copy of the medical questionnaire
3. Wear loose fitting, short-sleeve shirt
4. All residents MUST wear Face Mask

Additional clinics will be set up and publicized at a later date. Click here for the FVHD website: http://www.fvhd.org/ Click here for the FVVNA website: https://www.farmingtonvalleyvna.org/
