Framingham To Host Vaccine Clinic At City Park

FRAMINGHAM, MA — Getting outdoors will be a little bit more healthy than usual this weekend in Framingham.

The city, V-Care and MetroWest Pharmacy are partnering to host a free coronavirus vaccine clinic outdoors at Butterworth Park on Saturday. The clinic will feature the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson versions of the vaccine, which means the clinic will be open to people as young as age 12.

Saturday's weather is expected to be dry by very warm with temperatures in the mid-80s. The outdoor clinic at the park, located near Arthur and Bishop streets in the downtown area, will be held inside a shelter near the tennis court.

As of May 29, just over 50 percent of Framingham residents had been fully vaccinated against coronavirus, according to state data.

Saturday's clinic runs from 9 a.m. to noon. Children under age 18 will need a consent form signed by a parent or guardian. Only the Pfizer version of the vaccine is approved for people under age 18.
