There are several new opportunities coming up to get the COVID-19 vaccination, the best way to protect yourself from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Children under 12 are not eligible for the vaccine.
These clinics are free.
(Editor’s Note: as of Aug. 9, there’s no single-source website (this is the closest) to get hyperlocal vaccination clinic info, especially with one-day clinics. The information in this post was gathered from individual posts on Facebook, org websites, and email inquiries.)
Check this out:
Fourth Street Vax Clinic, Ansonia
Starting Monday, Aug. 9 Griffin Health will be operating a vaccination clinic at the lower level of 4 Fourth Street in Ansonia (the former Ansonia Community Action building).
The clinic will operate EVERY Monday and Wednesday thereafter, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Every individual who receives their FIRST shot at this clinic will receive a ticket to Quassy Amusement Park courtesy of Griffin Hospital.
And those returning to this clinic for their SECOND shot will receive a $25 gift certificate to an Ansonia restaurant, courtesy of the City of Ansonia!
FYI, Ansonia has had the lowest vaccination rates in the lower Naugatuck Valley since COVID-19 vaccinations became available, despite Mayor David Cassetti’s administration’s efforts to organize and publicize clinics.

Holy Rosary’s annual Italian festival is scheduled for Aug. 12, 13 and 14 on the Holy Rosary Church grounds on Father Salemi Drive. The Festa goes from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. each night.
