Clinic to Be

for Residents

regarding local vaccination

opportunities for residents

75-years-old and older.

The Ipswich Public Health

Department has been allocated

a limited supply of

Moderna vaccination doses

from the state. A small clinic

will be held for residents

75-years-old and older only

on Friday, Feb. 19 at the

Council on Aging, located in

the lower level of Town Hall.

An appointment is required

at the upcoming clinic, and

residents 75-years-old and

older may call the Council

on Aging at 978-356-6650

to be added to a list to be

contacted with an appointment

time once more information

is available. Once

the capacity for the clinic is

reached, residents will also

have the option to be placed

on a waitlist for the clinic.

The clinic is only open to

residents seeking their first

dose of the vaccine, and a

corresponding second clinic

will be scheduled in the

coming weeks for those who

receive their first vaccine at

the clinic. Those who have

already received their first

dose cannot receive their second

dose of the vaccine at

this site.

The Council on Aging is

also coordinating a vaccination

opportunity specifically

for residents who are age

75 and older, and who are

homebound. If you or someone

you know fits in this

category, call the Council on

Aging at 978-356-6650 to

add them to the waitlist.

Residents who have already

scheduled a vaccination appointment

at the Danvers

mass vaccination site are advised

and urged to keep that

appointment so that the limited

vaccination doses available

through the above more

local venues can be given to

more members of the community.

Eligible residents are also

encouraged to contact their

primary care physician and

local pharmacies to learn of

other potential vaccination

opportunities.

the Rowley Board of Health,

face coverings over the

mouth and nose are required

effective May 1, 2020. For

everyone’s safety, please

bring and properly wear a

mask the entire time you’re

in the library, and maintain

6 feet of distance from other

people when possible. Curbside

pickup will continue to

be available for anyone who

chooses not to enter the

building.

Stay home if you are sick.

If you have a temperature, a

cough, runny or stuffy nose,

shortness of breath, or sore

throat, or have been in close

contact with someone who

has tested positive or is under

review for COVID-19,

or if you have traveled outside

Massachusetts in the

past 14 days (unless it was

to a lower-risk state, please

don’t come into the library

– the staff and your fellow

patrons appreciate it.

Please bring your library

card. Presenting your library

card will help save time and

shorten face-to-face contact.

Self-checkout will also be

available.

All seating has been removed,

and tables are being

used as displays to spread out

our materials and allow more

space for browsing. Hand

sanitizer will be available at

all service desks, self-check

computers, copiers, printers,

and other areas. Please use

these as you touch materials

in the building, and follow

all signage and directional

arrows.

There are times we might

reach capacity limits. To

make space in the building

for other patrons, we

are asking everyone to limit

their time in the library to

30 minutes or less and be

mindful of other patrons as

you browse, both to maintain

physical distance and

to move on when you’re finished

to allow other patrons

access to library materials.
