COVID & Flu Vaccine Clinics

Thursdays, October 23rd & October 30th, in the Great Room

Community members are encouraged to mark your calendars for two upcoming vaccine clinics offering both COVID-19 and flu shots.

These events are designed to help protect our community as we enter the colder months, when flu and COVID-19 cases typically increase. Vaccinations remain one of the best ways to stay healthy, reduce the spread of illness, and protect those most vulnerable.

We encourage everyone in Briar Hill and Green Briar to plan ahead and take advantage of this opportunity to safeguard your health this season.

More details, including a signup sheet, will be available on our website in early October.
