GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — CHP Mobile Health is now offering the 2025 Covid-19 vaccine (Pfizer) during its mobile health clinics throughout the Berkshires.
Patients are also invited to receive a flu shot at the same time, to ward off both Covid and flu this coming fall-winter.
Patients with insurance are asked to bring their insurance card, though no one is denied access to vaccines due to lack of insurance or inability to pay.
The MHU team suggests appointments (particularly for children seeking Covid-19 vaccines) but walk-ups are welcome at our locations.
The MHU schedule can be found here: chpberkshires.org/mobile; information and appointments, 413.429.2946.
Mobile Health clinics are open to anyone, regardless of whether they are a CHP patient.

Berkshire South 5K Fundraiser Returns
GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Berkshire South Regional Community Center's 5K Fall Fun Run returns this year on Sunday, Sept. 29.
The walk/run starts and finishes on the runway of the Walter J. Koladza Airport in Great Barrington, with check-in beginning at 8:00 a.m. and a race start time of 9:00 a.m. The annual event is a critical fundraiser for Berkshire South's free Teen Outreach Nutrition and Exercise program (TONE).
New this year is a Family Scavenger Hunt, which takes place at 9:30 a.m. and is appropriate for children ages 10 and under.
"Students in the TONE program learn about what it takes to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Crucially, the program allows for all students to have access to facilities for which there's typically a fee. This is extremely helpful for students who come from low-income backgrounds and who do not have the means to pay for memberships. The program gives students the opportunity to learn about health and nutrition, how to exercise safely, and make smart choices for their overall wellbeing," said Jenise Lucey, executive director of Berkshire South.
Registration for the event will remain open at berkshiresouth.org/5K for a discounted rate of $35 through noon on Saturday, Sept. 28. Registrations on the day of the race require a $45 entry fee. The first 100 entrants receive a race t-shirt. Snacks will be available post-race and prizes will be awarded to the top finishers in various age brackets.
The 5K is a family friendly event. All fitness levels are welcome. The 2024 5K Fall Fun Run will be administered by the Berkshire Running Center. Those who are not able to participate in this year's walk/run are encouraged to make a donation at berkshiresouth.org/5K.
Berkshire South thanks this year's 5K sponsors: Ed Herrington, Inc, The Montessori School of the Berkshires, Berkshire Corporate Retreats, SS Home Improvements, Berkshire Rehabilitation & Skilled Care Center, C.W. Nelson Land Design, Sheldon Glass Service, Ormsbee Gas Co, Inc, Berkshire Orthopaedic Associates, Race Mountain Tree Service, Timpane Construction, Inc, Adelson & Company PC, Lee Audio 'N Security, Inc, and Reliable Yardworks, in addition to the Great Barrington Airport.
