Brookfield continues to keep a check on COVID-19.  The case rate for the past two weeks is 10.5 per 100,000, up from 9.3 the week before. The positivity rate is 2.7 percent up from 2.3.  Brookfield has also had one additional death reported, which occurred on October 19th. 

While Brookfield health officials believe the town is beginning to turn the corner on this pandemic, they ask that residents be careful and don’t take unnecessary risks.  The mask mandate remains lifted. 

Booster Shot clinics at Brookfield Town Hall started last week and are held on Tuesdays from 10am to 1pm and Thursdays from 3pm to 6pm.  Brookfield can administer Moderna or J&J doses.  Walk ins are being accepted, but appointments are recommended because they might not have available doses if the appointment schedule is full.  There have been some reported issues with the Vaccine Administration Management System or VAMS portal.  Brookfield health officials say people making an appointment must check the box that you cannot remember which shot you originally received when you go to select a booster type. It will then allow you to make an appointment.  Residents must bring proof of primary vaccination series to the clinic in order to get the booster shot.

Almost 200 booster shots were administered last week.  There is no clinic tomorrow due to Election Day.
