The city of Pittsfield, Massachusetts is teaming up with its local Future Collegiate League Baseball club to hold pop-up COVID vaccine clinics this summer.

UPDATE: The July 8th vaccination clinic at Wahconah Park has been cancelled due to rain.

The Pittsfield Suns and the city are making the COVID-19 vaccination pop-ups available to the public at historic Wahconah Park. 

“The first clinic will be held on Thursday, July 8th from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., and the second clinic will be held on Thursday, August 5th also at 5:30 to 7 p.m., and the clinic will be stationed in front of the gates of the ballpark," said Director of Administrative Services Roberta McCulloch-Dews. "Appointments are not necessary.”

As of July 1st, Pittsfield says 57% of the city is fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
