Mayor Sarno states, “I want to thank HHS Commissioner Helen Caulton-Harris and her team for their unyielding efforts throughout this COVID-19 pandemic.  The City of Springfield has been allotted a certain amount of COVID-19 vaccine booster doses and we are happy to be able to offer this life-saving vaccine to our residents.  I want to encourage all eligible residents to get their booster shot – by the way I just got both my booster and flu shots and I feel fine.” 

Mayor Sarno continued, “Health and Human Services Commissioner Helen Caulton-Harris and I want to remind and encourage our residents that we must remain vigilant and we now have to ‘double down and redouble our efforts in order for us to defeat this COVID-19 pandemic.  We implore those who are able to get their booster shot and for those who are unvaccinated to get vaccinated ASAP!  We must continue to quickly increase our vaccination rates to turn back this COVID-19 pandemic fully.  Also, a timely reminder for all to get their Flu shot and to those age appropriate their Shingles shot too.”

HHS Commissioner Caulton-Harris stated, “First, I want to thank Mayor Domenic Sarno for his continued and steadfast leadership in addressing the health needs and challenges we have experienced and endured throughout this COVID-19 pandemic.  I also want to applaud our residents who have worked so hard throughout this pandemic.  It is because of our joint efforts working together with all of our public and private partners that we can get this vital and life-saving vaccine and its booster shot to our residents.”
