We will be posting updates from the Mass.gov website regarding the Covid-19 vaccine rollout. Keep checking back!

Boston — Today, the Baker-Polito Administration announced individuals ages 75 and over can visit www.mass.gov/COVIDVaccineMap to start booking an appointment for vaccine beginning Monday, February 1st.

A map with all available locations is available at www.mass.gov/COVIDVaccineMap.

Residents should visit the website, find a convenient location, and schedule an appointment online.

Due to extremely high demand for appointments and limited vaccine supply, it may take time to secure an available appointment. Residents are encouraged to keep checking the website as appointments are added on a rolling basis.

The Vaccine Map has multiple provider types (i.e., mass vaccination, pharmacies, local vaccination sites) and appointments will go live on a rolling basis over the course of the day.

Once the vaccine is available, where can I go to get a COVID-19 vaccine?
Public vaccine clinics including COVID-19 vaccine when available can be found at CDC’s interactive website: vaccinefinder.org. Once vaccine is widely available you can also check with your primary care provider, local pharmacy or local health department. Information will also be available on the DPH website.

Please note: vaccinefinder.org does not currently include the vaccine for COVID- 19. Checking with your P*P office is the best route and they can direct you to a vaccine site. We will not be administering the vaccine as it requires a specialized freezer.

Please refer to the Massachusetts guideline for information on when you can begin getting your vaccines. We will be posting the weekly updates from this site.
