Print Story | Email Story
LEE, Mass. — The Southern Berkshire Public Health Collaborative (SBPHC) is preparing for the upcoming respiratory illness season.
 
The public health program at SBPHC is offering pre-registration assistance for clinic appointments and by increasing awareness about our homebound vaccine program. 
 
SBPHC staff will be holding a no-cost clinic at the St Ann's Catholic Parish, Oct. 30, 2024, from 1:30- 3:30 pm as part of a series of clinics being held throughout Southern Berkshire County during October, November and December.  A full list of all these clinics can be found at www.southernberkshirehealth.com. In-home vaccinations are also available to people living in member towns who are homebound who call the office and request an appointment.   
 
Register for a flu or COVID vaccine using one of these three methods: 
  • Go to https://home.color.com/vaccine/register/tritown and pick the desired clinic.  
  • Attend the pre-registration event being held at the Lenox Community Center on September 10, 2024, from 9:00- 10:00 am OR Contact SBPHC staff at (413) 243-5540 x109 so that they can register residents over the phone and/or set up an appointment for a person who is homebound.
Although the flu and COVID vaccinations are provided at no cost, SBPHC ask that residents have their insurance cards with them at the time of registration as well as the day of the clinic. This will reduce wait time the day of the vaccine appointment.

Great Barrington's Davis Wins House Primary

iBerkshires.com Staff
Leigh Davis will run on the Democratic party line in November to fill the 3rd Berkshire House seat being vacated by William "Smitty" Pignatelli.
 
At just after 10:30 on Tuesday evening, with 97 percent of the votes counted, the Associated Press called the Democratic primary for Davis, a member of the Great Barrington Select Board.
 
She had 56 percent of the votes, well ahead of her nearest challenger, Patrick White, who had 37 percent. Jamie Minacci was running a distant third with 6 percent of the votes that were in.
 
Davis in November will face Lenox Select Board member Marybeth Mitts, who is running as an independent to serve South County in the House of Representatives on Beacon Hill.
 
Pignatelli, of Lenox, served the district for more than 20 years.
 
The other major contested election on the ballot for Berkshire County voters on Sunday was the race for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate.
 
The AP called that race early in the night, projecting that John Deaton of Swansea will carry the GOP banner into November's election against incumbent Elizabeth Warren.
