Where Can I Get a Vaccine?
Measles
MMR vaccines are available at all Walgreens, CVS, and Walmart locations within Berkshire County. Links to their websites can be found directly below to schedule vaccine appointments. Calling ahead to confirm MMR vaccines are currently stocked is strongly advised. High demand can lead to temporary shortages spanning a few days at any given time. You can also call your primary care provider or your child’s pediatrician to schedule a vaccination appointment. The Public Health Nurse for your local Board of Health may also be able to assist in getting an MMR vaccine if you do not have insurance or are otherwise unable to get a vaccine through your provider or a pharmacy.
