Third doses for certain individuals with immune system compromise

We do offer third doses for immune compromised individuals who received two doses of a Pfizer-BioNTech or  Moderna (mRNA vaccine) series.  Tuesdays from 10am-1pm we offer indoor appointments for third doses only for individuals with immune compromise; please make an appointment. Otherwise everyone 12+ is welcome at any of our outdoor locations where social distancing is easy or at other indoor clinics where we will be immunizing others who may be unimmunized or only partially immunized. 

Who can be vaccinated?

All Massachusetts residents ages 12 years old and older are now eligible for a COVID vaccine. Please note, the only vaccine approved starting as young as age 12 is Pfizer-BioNTech; people aged 18 and older may receive the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson Janssen vaccines.

Do you have booster shots?  

• Yes! We plan to begin offering booster doses of PfizerBioNTech vaccine during the week of September 27. Appointments will are available on this website.
• These booster doses are ONLY for those who originally received the two-dose series of Pfizer’s COVID vaccine. Booster doses might be recommended in the future for those who received COVID vaccines manufactured by Moderna or Janssen (Johnson & Johnson), but there isn’t enough research available yet to make that call and our vaccine clinics strictly follow the CDC guidance and standing orders.
• On 9/23/2021 the CDC endorsed the ACIP recommendation for a booster shot of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine in certain populations and also recommended a booster dose for those in high risk occupational and institutional settings
• **We are expecting a high volume of foot traffic at our walk-up clinics due to the new boosters. Please bear with us as we adapt.**

Who should get a booster of PfizerBioNTech (aka COMIRNATY)?

Here are the new CDC recommendations:  

First, anyone looking for a Pfizer booster needs to have received 2 doses of Pfizer vaccine in the past. There is no current "booster" for either Moderna or Janssen Johnson & Johnson vaccine. 

Boosters are for people who received their second dose of specifically the Pfizer vaccine at least 6 months ago AND any of the following:

• people 65 years and older and residents in long-term care settings should receive a booster shot of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine
• people aged 50–64 years with underlying medical conditions should receive a booster shot of Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine
• people aged 18–49 years with underlying medical conditions may receive a booster shot of Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine based on their individual benefits and risks, and
• people aged 18-64 years who are at increased risk for COVID-19 exposure and transmission because of occupational or institutional setting may receive a booster shot of Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 based on their individual benefits and risks.

If you have any difficulty finding a dose of COVID vaccine or making an appointment after looking at this page, please call the vaccine line at 413-587-1219 or send email here.

What to expect at the clinic?

Here is a nice CDC video about what to expect when you get the COVID vaccine.

Important information for minors and their legal guardians/parents/caregivers 

The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID19 vaccine is approved as young as age 12. We would prefer that minors are accompanied by their legal guardian for the vaccination appointment in case of any side effects. However if a minor will be coming to the clinic alone they need to have a legal guardian make their appointment online and complete the electronic attestation and consent process. If a minor is coming alone AND the guardian is unable to complete the online scheduling and consent, please bring a signed copy of the CDC pre-vaccination screening checklist and a consent form signed by their guardian.
