Are you looking for a COVID-19 vaccine appointment? Wondering if you’re eligible?
Check www.mass.gov/vaccine for updates. Currently, Phase 1 individuals and people age 75 and older are eligible. People younger than 75 and people with co-morbidities are not yet eligible.
Our best advice at this time is to continue trying to get appointments online because they’re added frequently. Also, pay attention to your email because some healthcare providers are contacting their eligible patients directly about appointments. If you don’t use a computer, and don’t have a family member or friend who can help book you an appointment, reach out to the Senior Center for help by calling 617-796-1666. You’ll be asked to leave your name/phone number for a return phone call. Please be patient as our staff and volunteers work to return calls as quickly as possible.
