The Town of Vernon is hosting a COVID-19 vaccination clinic on Saturday and is also adding a health and wellness component with free medical consultations to.
“It has been a nightmare. I’ve called up, it has taken so long to get through, and then you go on the computer. And everything is fine, and then all of a sudden you’re back on another page again. And I had help too,” said LaPlante.
But when she heard about Vernon’s program, she gave their regional hotline a call and on Friday got her vaccine.
Two hundred people received their shot at the clinic, and the town’s vaccination program is doing up to 10 clinics a week all over the region. Friday was the first time they administered the new one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
