TO BOOK AN APPOINTMENT FOR A BOOSTER:
Visit the Vaxfinder tool at vaxfinder.mass.gov for a full list of locations (pharmacies, clinics, etc.) to receive a booster. Tip: To book at a particular pharmacy site, select a date 7-10 days away to find available appointment times.
If you are unable to use Vaxfinder, or have difficulty accessing the internet, the COVID-19 Vaccine Resource Line can help schedule appointments. Call 2-1-1 and follow the prompts for assistance (Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM, Saturday and Sunday 9AM-2PM).
The COVID-19 Vaccine Resource Line is available in English and Spanish and has translators available in approximately 100 additional languages.
