Press release from the Town of Dedham:

March 10, 2021

DEDHAM - On Wednesday, March 10, 2021, the Baker-Polito Administration announced the upcoming launch of a preregistration system for booking Covid-19 vaccine appointments online. Dedham Health Director, Kylee Sullivan, has provided the following bulleted information as a summary to the Governor's announcement:

• There will be a new preregistration tool for appointments at the mass vaccination sites on the State’s website starting Friday, 3/12/2021. This will replace the current appointment booking tool (the weekly appointment release on Thursdays).
• Once a person preregisters online, they will be notified when an appointment becomes available at a mass vaccination site and they will have 24 hours to accept the appointment once it is offered to them. If an appointment is not accepted after 24 hours, the resident will go back into the queue to wait for another appointment.
• The preregistration system will not impact this week’s appointment release on Thursday, 3/11/2021 for mass vaccination sites.
• Preregistration will be available at www.mass.gov/COVIDvaccine
• On 3/11/2021, K-12 educators, childcare workers, and K-12 school staff are eligible to receive the vaccine.
• There will be four dedicated educator days at the mass vaccination sites:
  • Saturday, March 27
  • Saturday, April 3
  • Saturday, April 10
  • Sunday, April 11
• K-12 educators, childcare workers, and K-12 school staff must use the preregistration system to request an appointment.
