Coronavirus Vaccine Registration Opens At Barnstable County Site

HYANNIS, MA — The Barnstable County Department of Health and Environment has opened registration for a regional drive-thru clinic for the COVID-19 vaccine.

The clinic will be held on Feb. 4 at the Cape Cod Melody Tent at 21 West Main St. in Hyannis. It's open for those that meet the phase one requirements for the state's vaccine distribution plan and for residents 75 and older.

If the clinic is not visible on the state map, appointments can be made directly at MA Immunizations while available.

The Barnstable County Department of Health and Environment does not keep a general waitlist for residents trying to get the COVID-19 vaccine. However, when a resident attempts to make an appointment for local clinics online, and that clinic is full, you may be asked if you want to be on a wait list for that specific clinic. If there are cancellations, county officials may contact you to fill a space.

Officials encourage residents to assist those who need help navigating the online vaccine registration process. If a senior in your life does not use the internet, such as a parent, grandparent, neighbor, please reach out to assist them. As clinics open for appointments, the COVID-19 Helpline volunteers will be available at 774-330-3001 to assist anyone who needs help navigating the online registration process.
