With a slight uptick in COVID-19 cases being reported across Connecticut, due in part to the Omicron subvariant BA.2, New Fairfield officials are ramping testing and vaccination clinics back up.
The Health Department has arranged for PCR testing by appointment only, Monday through Friday beginning today. This will be at the Community Room located at the Senior Center at no cost to the Town or patient through Curative. The CDC and FDA have recently approved a fourth dose of Pfizer and Moderna vaccines for those over 50, if the last dose was more than four months ago.
Three mobile clinics are scheduled. They are April 20 10AM-4PM at St. Edwards, April 30 10AM-4PM at the Senior Center, and May 21 10AM-4PM at the Senior Center. The Vaccination Van clinics are walk-in and provide all three vaccines – Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J. Anyone over the age of 12 may get a booster shot (third dose) if it’s been 5 months since the 2nd Pfizer or Moderna vaccination or 2 months from a J&J vaccination.
