The Town is offering 2nd Covid Vaccine booster shots to eligible residents.
The Town asked me to notify readers that there is still room in the special Covid Booster Clinic being held this Monday, May 16th.
As I previously explained, this one is specifically for 50+ year olds to get a 2nd Vaccine Booster shot.

Who is eligible to get a booster?
All residents aged 50 and older or individuals who are younger with certain medical conditions may now access a second COVID-19 booster. On March 29th, the CDC recommended that certain immunocompromised individuals and all individuals over the age of 50 get an additional booster dose at least 4 months after their first booster. CDC recommendations allow for mixing and matching of different COVID-19 booster doses, and eligible individuals may choose which vaccine they receive as a booster dose. For more information on eligibility, visit www.mass.gov/vaccine

If you are unable to attend this clinic (or ineligible to), please use VaxFinder to book an appointment for boosters or vaccines at a pharmacy or other location.
You have to read the appointment application carefully. Mine is for 2:45 AM. It then says you can show up anytime during the hours specified.
