FRAMINGHAM, MA — Framingham on Feb. 6 will host a coronavirus vaccine clinic for residents over age 75, but slots were filled up as of Friday afternoon after appointments inadvertently went live on Thursday night.

Framingham is getting 300 doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine for the clinic, which will be at Keefe Tech High School.

"While [the] city was setting up the clinic on the state’s website, late Thursday night, individuals who were viewing available clinics were able to register for the Framingham clinic," the city said in a statement Friday afternoon. "Because this is a new system, it was unclear that the appointments would appear live as the city added to the site. At this time, all appointments have been secured."
