Conversation Starters
Stolen Car, No Body
A brown 2017 Ford Fusion that had been reported stolen from Truro was found by Provincetown police on Old Colony Way in the early morning hours of Sept. 26.
Contrary to rumor, however, there was not a dead body in the vehicle. Police Chief Jim Golden confirmed that the vehicle was abandoned and unoccupied when it was found.
Free Flu and Covid Shots
Provincetown and Barnstable County are collaborating to hold a free flu and Covid vaccine clinic at town hall on Thursday, Oct. 19 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Advance registration for the clinic is required, and people who are currently without health insurance are especially advised to register early.
After the nationwide Covid-19 public health emergency expired on May 11, new rules requiring insurance companies to pay for Covid vaccines without copays took effect — as did a series of negotiated deals that are supposed to ensure free vaccines for the uninsured. Pharmacies such as Walgreens and CVS are supposed to have free vaccines, and state health departments across the country were also provided with a supply — including those that will be at the town hall clinic on Oct. 19.
To register for the clinic, go to the town’s home page, provincetown-ma.gov, and click on the vaccine clinic item under “News.” —Paul Benson
