Veterans Coronavirus Vaccination Clinic In Beverly

BEVERLY, MA — North Shore veterans, their spouses, caregivers and widows of veterans will have another chance at getting a coronavirus vaccination shot Friday at Beverly Airport.

The Veterans Affairs department will host the clinic Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Federal Emergency Management Agency Task Force 1 location at 43 Airport Road. Recent clinics — including the one this past weekend in Salem — have used the one-dose J&J vaccine, but due to the recommended "pause" in that vaccine, the two-dose Pfizer vaccine will be used on Friday.

The second-dose date is May 7.

As part of the "Save Lives" law, all veterans, their spouses, caregivers and widows of veterans are now eligible for this federal program. Spouses, caregivers and widows will be required to present the last four digits of the veterans' social security number to register.

No other documentation will be necessary.

Pre-registration can be done here.

For more information or assistance go to the VA Bedford website or call 617-687-4000.
