Dear fellow Hanoverians:<\/p>\n
I love how the Hanover Emergency Management folks always find a way to make
\nthe best out of a challenging situation. <\/p>\n
As you probably already know, there’s not a lot of vaccine kicking around.
\nFirst responders and then seniors over 75 years of age were prioritized
\nfirst, and seniors over 65 or people with 2 or more certain medical
\nconditions will be allowed to receive their first shots beginning Thursday,
\nFebruary 18th. For more information about eligibility, go to:
\nhttp:\/\/atotw.com\/maillist\/lt.php?tid=20bJK+nstwe5NDh4KgT4F8eFKAM8SGzzhwNcGFgeAr1oqLt7nDN4RqoN783ZLADJ
\n. <\/p>\n
The vaccine that is available to all of those folks is largely available
\nonly to those with a computer and\/or the ability to navigate a
\nless-than-intuitive state website, found here:
\nhttp:\/\/atotw.com\/maillist\/lt.php?tid=ilHLHauC5AmzKdn0lJTfEceFKAM8SAzzhwNcGFgeAr1oqLt7nDP4RqoN783ZLADJ
\n. Based on my conversations with my older friends, that leaves out far too
\nmany people.<\/p>\n
The issue is that some currently eligible folks aren’t universally
\ncomputer-savvy. Here’s where the Hanover Emergency Management folks come
\nin! Starting this week, the Hanover COVID-19 Hotline (781) 924-1925 will
\nbe STAFFED with helpful computer-savvy Hanover staff who can answer your
\nquestions in real time AND help make an appointment for people who qualify.
\n It will be staffed Monday – Friday from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. On
\nweekends, holidays and after 4:00 p.m. Monday – Friday, the excellent 24
\nhour recorded hotline will answer lots more of your basic questions.<\/p>\n
The irony of this e-mail is that it is probably not reaching the people who
\nneed it most. :) So, therefore, a request, dear readers. Please call
\nyour favorite retired neighbor this week and see if they need help getting
\nvaccinated. If so, please give them that hotline number – (781) 924-1925.
\nSpread the word…let’s care for each other, Hanover!<\/p>\n
