COVID-19 vaccination locations

People age 12 and older who live, work, or study in Massachusetts can get vaccinated against COVID-19. People ages 12-17 can only get the Pfizer vaccine. People age 18 and older can get any vaccine. The vaccine is safe and effective. You don't need an ID or insurance to get it.

There are different types of COVID-19 vaccination sites, and many ways to find an appointment. Use VaccinesSignup.mass.gov to preregister or VaxFinder.mass.gov to find a location near you. Additional locations will be added in the coming weeks.

How to get vaccinated

People age 12 and older are now eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. If you are 12-17 years old, there are certain steps you should take.

There are different ways to find a vaccine appointment:

• Use VaxFinder.mass.gov to search for appointments
• Preregister at VaccineSignUp.mass.gov to be notified when it's your turn to schedule an appointment at a mass vaccination or regional collaborative location

Massachusetts’ preregistration system makes it easier to request and schedule an appointment. People can preregister for a COVID-19 vaccine appointment at mass vaccination locations and certain regional collaborative locations only. More locations will continue to be added.

Once you sign up for preregistration, you’ll receive weekly status updates. You can opt out at any time if you find an appointment elsewhere. Once an appointment is available, you’ll be contacted with the opportunity to book the appointment and have 24 hours to accept it.
