Information collected from the survey will be used to provide a contact list for future vaccine administration plans. Completing the survey does not register someone for the vaccine. But, the town will be using this list to ensure that those who qualify for Phase 1b get the most timely, up-to-date information and instructions.

Currently, residents 75 years of age and older are included in Phase 1b, but this is subject to change and likely to include additional age groups. Once more specific details for Phase 1b eligibility and roll-out are finalized, the town will reach out with an update. This will be separate from any communication or registration administered by your healthcare provider or the state.
