All individuals 16 and older are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine today — Monday, April 19.

On Monday, individuals 16 and older will be eligible to receive vaccine at any of the state’s more than 300 public vaccination locations. With this group, 1.7 million additional residents will be eligible for vaccine in the Commonwealth.

Individuals seeking appointments at mass vaccination sites are able to preregister for vaccine appointments at mass.gov/COVIDVaccine. Several regional collaboratives are also on the preregistration system including: Amherst, Marshfield, Northborough, Northampton, Palmer and West Springfield.

An individual who preregisters can still seek appointments at other sites including pharmacies, community health centers and their healthcare provider.

Due to limited supply of vaccines from the federdal government, individuals seeking appointments should anticipate that it may take several for people to get an appointment. To learn more about the Commonwealth’s vaccination sites and pre-registration visit Mass.gov/COVIDVaccine.

Over the weekend, the Commonwealth hit the milestone of having over 2 million residents fully vaccinated. Over 3 million first doses have been administered.
