STOCKBRIDGE, Mass. — The Southern Berkshire Public Health Collaborative (SBPHC) announced the launch of its Fall 2025 Mobile Vaccine Clinic series, offering convenient access to flu and COVID-19 vaccinations at community buildings and schools throughout Southern Berkshire County.
 
These clinics will provide the following vaccines:
  • Regular-dose flu for individuals aged 6 months and older;
  • High-dose flu for individuals aged 65 and older;
  • Updated COVID-19 for individuals aged 65 or older; and
  • Updated COVID-19 for individuals with underlying medical conditions that make them high risk for illness.
SBPHC encourages anyone who believes they may be eligible, based on the above, to register and adjustments can be made once the final eligibility criteria becomes clear.
 
Registration is required and can be completed in one of two ways:
  1. Online: Visit https://home.color.com/vaccine/register/tritown and select your preferred clinic location.
  2. By Phone: Call SBPHC at (413) 243-5540 x109 for assistance with registration.
While flu and COVID-19 vaccines are provided at no cost, individuals are asked to bring their insurance card to both registration and the clinic appointment. If you experience difficulty entering insurance information online, you may select "No Insurance" and bring your card to the clinic.
 
SBPHC offers in-home vaccination services for individuals who are unable to easily leave their house. Call (413) 243-5540 x109 or email Jill Sweet, Public Health Nurse, at jill@tritownhealth.org.

Must-Experience Spring Events in the Berkshires

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
The sun has finally risen from the clouds and shines its golden rays on the bare trees bringing the wildlife back to life and awakening the wildlife from their blissful sleep. The snow melts and the sky cries with joy, showering the ground and  filling the air with the smell of petrichor.
 
The grass becomes green, the leaves return, and the flowers pollinate, filling the world with the forgotten color. Nature celebrates the coming of spring and so should you. Here are some events happening this spring to help with your celebration.
 
SpringFest 
Saturday, May 9 
Berkshire Botanical Garden, Stockbridge
 
The 24-acre botanical garden will have free admission family fun designed to celebrate spring and community. The event features food trucks and enough children's activities to keep the youngest visitors happily busy for hours including a petting zoo, pony rides, face painting, and more. A traditional maypole dance will add an old-world flourish to the day's lineup.
 
The festival is part of the garden's immersive weekend experience Mother's Day weekend, coinciding with its 49th annual Plants-and-Answers Plant Sale from May 8 through 10.
 
The event was established in 1977 and has become a cherished Mother's Day weekend tradition for gardeners across the region. This year's edition, curated by its horticulture staff, offers hundreds of perennials, annuals, herbs, and vegetables — each selected with an emphasis on diversity and nature-based landscaping.
