Residents 75 And Older Are Now Eligible To Register For The Vaccine In Cambridge

Press release from the City of Cambridge:

January 27, 2021

Cambridge residents age 75+ are the first priority population in Phase II and are eligible to get the COVID-19 Vaccine as of February 1.

Those 75 and older can register for their vaccine beginning Wednesday, January 27 at www.mass.gov/COVIDVaccineMap, and will be able to get their vaccines at any of the “Mass Vaccination Sites.”

Due to high demand and constrained vaccine supply, COVID-19 Vaccination appointments are limited. More appointments will be available based on supply from the Federal Government. Appointments will be added on a rolling basis.

If you can’t make an appointment at this time, please continue checking the state’s website but be prepared that it may take several weeks to get an appointment at a location near you.

At this time, there are no vaccination sites in Cambridge due to limited vaccine availability. The City continues to work with the State on establishing sites in Cambridge.
