CHP Mobile Health Second Booster Now Offered

08:30AM / Tuesday, April 25, 2023Print Story | Email Story

GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Mobile Health now offers a second Covid-19 booster for adults 65 and older, and for others of any age with compromised immune systems.

Community Health Programs (CHP) will provide these CDC-approved senior boosters at least four months after the first booster was received. Most people with weakened immunity can receive this booster within two months of a prior booster.

Berkshire area residents may visit chpberkshires.org/mobile or call (413) 528-0457 for information and CHP Mobile Health locations. Appointments are encouraged but not required.

The FDA has also approved the elimination of the multi-injection monovalent Covid-19 series and replacing that protocol with a single bivalent vaccine. This vaccine is appropriate for anyone who has not previously been vaccinated against Covid-19.

Earlier in April, the CDC approved a Covid-19 booster for children 6 months through age 4. The Pfizer BioNTech version of this pediatric booster is available on with CHP Mobile Health, but parents are urged to call (413) 528-0457 to confirm their child’s eligibility based on their vaccine history.

GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass.—The Nonprofit Center of the Berkshires, in partnership with The Berkshire Eagle, will present the ninth annual Berkshire Nonprofit Awards breakfast on Tuesday, May 19, from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the Country Club of Pittsfield.

The awards recognize individuals who work in the nonprofit sector to serve the Berkshire community.

"In the midst of some challenging years for the nonprofit sector, it's imperative that we make space to honor those in our community who are doing incredible work day in and day out," said McCaela Donovan, Associate Director of the Nonprofit Center of the Berkshires. "This event creates space for joy and recognition, which is essential in this moment. If you know someone making a difference, please take the time to nominate them."

Nominations are being solicited from across the Berkshires in seven categories: Executive Leadership, Board Leadership, Unsung Hero, Volunteer, Rock Star, Lifetime Achievement, and the Samya Rose Stumo Youth Leadership Award.

Honorees—one in each category—will be selected by a committee of business and nonprofit leaders. Nomination forms are available at npcberkshires.org/nominate. The deadline for submissions is March 13.

The Nonprofit Center of the Berkshires is an infrastructure and support organization for the Berkshire nonprofit sector- which employs one in four people in Berkshire County. Now in its tenth year, NPC is currently seeking sponsors for this celebratory event. For more information about sponsorship opportunities, contact McCaela Donovan at mccaela@npcberkshires.org.
