VACCINE ONLINE BOOKING PROCESS

As of February 1, residents age 75 and older became eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine in Massachusetts.

Appointments are now available for online booking at www.mass.gov/COVIDVaccine.

Mass Vaccinations Sites (currently accepting appointments):

  • Gillette Stadium in Foxboro
  • Fenway Park in Boston
  • Eastfield Mall in Springfield
  • DoubleTree Hotel in Danvers

Currently, the mass vaccination sites are posting large batches of appointments once a week (on Thursdays).

The number of appointments is based on the available number of doses allocated from the federal government.

The mass vaccination sites plan is to increase the number of appointments posted weekly in the coming weeks based on the federal allocation of vaccines shipped to Massachusetts.

Lowell Regional Vaccination Sites

Following strong advocacy from our area’s representatives, the Governor has announced that a vaccination site will be established at Cross River Center. under the auspices of Circle Health and Lowell General Hospital in the City of Lowell.

We are also seeking an additional site for our area of Westford/Littleton/Groton/Ayer as well.

Steps to book an appointment online:

1.     Visit www.mass.gov/CovidVaccineMap and click on the map

2.     Select a location, schedule an appointment online

3.     Have your important information with you, such as your insurance card

4.     Fill out the self-attestation form, which will need to be presented at your appointment

Please check www.mass.gov/covidvaccinemap frequently for open appointments.

Thank you to all the constituents who have contacted me about their experiences in regards to this process.  This is very helpful as I report to the Governor what the actual experiences are in trying to secure a vaccination appointment.

This feedback is helpful as we bring this process into a more streamlined and efficacious system, to ensure that all those who are eligible receive any available vaccines in a systematic and timely manner.

If you have any additional problems or concerns, please contact me by email (jame.arciero@mahouse.gov) and by phone (617-722-2012).
