Ipswich
Announces
Small
COVID-19
Vaccination
Clinic to Be
Held Friday
for Residents
75-Years-Old
and Older

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.

Keeping Each Other Safe:
Masks are required to enter

masks to protect you and we
ask that you do the same. Per
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.
