Our flu vaccine clinics begin in late September. We can vaccinate adults and children over the age of 2. High dose vaccine (preferred for seniors) is available!
This year's COVID vaccines will target the XBB.1.5 variant. We expect they'll be approved but the FDA and CDC in mid-September. This will be the first time that vaccines are not provided through the state of Massachusetts, and will instead be bought privately by the Department of Health and Human Services. We will have COVID vaccines available to the public starting sometime in October.
We will continue to provide all vaccines free of charge, but those with insurance will need to provide insurance details to register. Please note that if you have Medicare, you will need to enter "Medicare Part B of Massachusetts" when asked for the name of your insurance plan.
If you need assistance with registration, call 413-587-1314.
We will also offer home vaccination visits for individuals who are fully homebound.

What do you need to know or bring to a vaccine clinic?
Vaccine is free!
You should never be asked for cash or payment at or after a clinic for a COVID vaccine, however, you will be asked for your health insurance card.
Bring your Health insurance card (if you have health insurance)
If you make an appointment, enter your own health insurance information from your insurance card
If you plan to walk-in, bring your health insurance card with you for registration
If you don't have health insurance, no card needed! Vaccine is free.
No ID is necessary, though if you have an ID please bring it as it makes walk-in registration faster!
Bring your CDC vaccination card or vaccine record if at all possible.
A photo of your paper card is acceptable
A digital vaccination record is acceptable. Click here for a digital vaccine "SMART card" if you got any doses Massachusetts

How can I get my vaccine record?
- Fastest option: If you got any doses in Massachusetts you can find a digital record at www.myvaxrecords.mass.gov
- Call your primary care office; almost all primary care offices are connected to the Massachusetts Immunization Information System (MIIS) and can direct you to either your record online or give you a printed copy.
- Call the organization/clinic/business where you received your doses.
- If you received your vaccine at a clinic run by the Northampton Department of Health and Human Services call 413-587-1216 and leave a message for a Public Health Nurse with your name, date of birth, and address.
