Thousands of appointments to be added weekly, most availability at mass vaccination sites

 

BOSTON- Today, the Command Center provided additional instructions for the online booking process for residents 75 years and older for the COVID-19 vaccine.

 

Beginning February 1st, residents age 75 and older are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine in Massachusetts.  Appointments became available yesterday for online booking at www.mass.gov/COVIDVaccine.

More mass vaccination sites will be announced soon in other locations. On Wednesday, 10,000 appointments were posted in Springfield and Danvers and were filled within hours.  

 

Today, Springfield and Danvers made another 15,000 appointments available, Gillette Stadium and Fenway Park posted a total of 20,000 appointments this morning.  

CVS Health will post 1,152 new appointments daily across their 8 sites, for a total of 8,000 per week.  CVS Health is posting new appointments online daily.

 

In total, over 35,000 new appointments are live  over the course of the day for appointments in the next 7 days.
