Should I get a COVID booster shot?

Where can I get a vaccine?
The Commonwealth’s COVID-19 Vaccine Finder has information about vaccine locations and availability statewide. Residents can also call 211 to access the Massachusetts Vaccine Scheduling Resource Line for help booking an appointment.
Homebound vaccinations
For individuals who cannot reasonably leave their homes, call (833) 983-0485 to arrange for an in-home booster shot. The Commonwealth is providing COVID-19 in-home vaccinations. Callers will immediately be assessed for in-home vaccination need, registered, and scheduled. Appointments can generally be made within two weeks from the scheduling call.
