PITTSFIELD, Mass. — With a significantly diminished demand, Berkshire Health Systems (BHS) will temporarily halt its COVID-19 vaccination clinics at the BHS Vaccine & Testing Centers in Pittsfield and North Adams, effective April 1.
A final pediatric COVID-19 vaccine clinic will be held at the Pittsfield center, 505 East St., on Friday, April 7.
The number of people in the region seeking COVID-19 vaccination at the BHS centers has fallen dramatically in recent months. In addition, many local pharmacies now provide the vaccine.
BHS will continue to monitor COVID-19 infection rates and vaccination needs in the county and will adjust its offerings to meet those needs. The organization expects to offer public vaccination services again on a larger scale in Fall 2023.

Thief Steals Ring During Wahconah Park Event
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Someone lifted a championship ring during Saturday's "Farewell to the Grandstand" at Wahconah Park.
The event featured display cases exhibiting notable Pittsfield baseball history — including a 1997 Pittsfield Mets Championship Ring.
Pittsfield Police are investigating the theft and posted on Facebook how the community can help get it back.
That includes reporting any suspicious activity noticed around the display cases; watching for any rings matching the ring's description on Facebook Marketplace, eBay or local pawn shops; and sharing the Facebook post so more people see it.
If you have any information, contact the Police Department at 413-448-9700, Ext. 679, or private message. The case number is 26-1026-OF, or send a private message directly.
