In-Home Vaccination Program (COVID-19/Influenza)

In-home vaccination is available for people who have difficulty getting to a community vaccination location, particularly those facing mobility or transportation challenges.

Update, Oct. 18: Due to high demand, patients may be placed on a wait list to schedule an in-home vaccination appointment. If you are on the wait list, DPH's vaccination contractor (CDR Health) will contact you to schedule your vaccination when more appointments are available. As a reminder, if you are able to arrange transportation, DPH is holding mobile vaccination clinics around the state. Please visit mass.gov/MobileVaccines to find a clinic near you.

Eligibility

In-home vaccination is available for people (including children) who have difficulty getting to a community vaccination location, particularly those facing mobility or transportation challenges. There is no cost to the patient (note that if you have insurance, they will be billed for the cost of the vaccine).
