CHP does not provide Covid-19 vaccinations at our practice locations. We have partnered with Berkshire Health Systems and the area Boards of Health Association to form the Berkshire Vaccine Collaborative to distribute the vaccine across the County at multiple vaccination sites in the county. This effort is focused on systematic and equitable vaccination, following the guidelines set by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Please note: This collaborative vaccine registration tool does not include vaccination registration options at various pharmacy locations throughout the county.

FAQs:

Should my child get the COVID-19 vaccine?

The vaccine is approved for individuals 16 and older. There is not yet enough research on the efficacy of the vaccine on children.  Talk to your health care provider if you have specific questions around your child’s circumstances.

I am pregnant.  Should I get the vaccine?  Will it harm my baby?

Vaccine will be available to pregnant and breast feeding patients. The vaccine, however, has not been studied in pregnant or breast feeding patients. Preliminary data form other countries suggests it is safe for both. The vaccine does not appear in breast milk.  The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology has no formal recommendations at this point.  Patients should discuss their options with their clinician.

Where can I get my vaccine?

CHP is coordinating with Berkshire Health Systems and other health organizations to run three clinic locations across the Berkshires.  In North Adams, Pittsfield and Great Barrington.

Do I have to pay for my vaccine?

There is no cost for the vaccine.

What is the process for getting my vaccine? 

The vaccine is a two-dose distribution.  CHP is conducting specific vaccine clinics in coordination with our health care partners.  Patients will receive the vaccine in order based upon the state and CDC guidelines set forth.  You must register for an appointment to get the vaccine:
