COVID-19 VACCINE
The COVID-19 vaccine is free. You don't need an ID or insurance to get it.
People age 12+ who live, work, or study in Massachusetts can get vaccinated against COVID-19
People ages 12-17 can receive the Pfizer vaccine. People age 18 and older can receive any vaccine.
Where do I get vaccinated?
Visit the MA Vaxfinder website to find vaccine sites and schedule an appointment.
How do I prepare for my appointment?
-Your vaccination location may list an ID or insurance card as necessary, however, that only applies to people who have them. You can still receive the COVID-19 vaccine without insurance or an ID.
-Wear a vaccine-friendly outfit. You will be administered the vaccine in your upper arm and will need to be able to expose your arm.
-There's a 15 minute wait period after you get your vaccine for observation purposes so plan your time accordingly.
For more information, check out the How to Prepare For My COVID-19 Vaccine Appointment guide.
What if I or someone I know can't leave their home to get the vaccine?
The state has a program for individuals who require in-home vaccinations because they are unable to get to a vaccine location. Full details can be found on the COVID-19 Homebound Vaccination Program page.
