Milford Vax Booster Clinic Offered By Board Of Health

MILFORD, MA — With coronavirus cases rising and the COVID-19 omicron variant now confirmed in Massachusetts, it's a good time to think about getting a vaccine booster shot.

The Milford Board of Health will host a booster clinic on Thursday featuring the Pfizer version. The shots are free and available to anyone over 18, but residents need to register for appointments in advance.

The Food and Drug Administration has said that mixing vaccines — for example, two shots of Moderna with a Pfizer booster — is OK.

There has been a bit of a crunch to find booster shots in the area as locals seek increased protection during holiday gatherings. Gov. Charlie Baker has said the state has plenty of shots to give, but is having trouble distributing boosters.

Thursday's clinic will be held from 3:30 to 6 p.m. at the Milford Senior Center, 60 North Bow St.
