Getting Ready For Coronavirus Vaccine Roll Out In Hamilton Town

Press release from the Town of Hamilton:

January 25, 2021

We are excited to finally be getting the COVID-19 vaccine out and into people’s arms so that we can end this pandemic! Please see below for answers to some of the common questions we have received.

When can I get the vaccine?

Massachusetts is using a tiered approach to determining who is able to get the vaccine and when. As the different groups are allowed to be vaccinated, Hamilton will be utilizing Code Red messaging, updating our website, and posting on social media. If you haven’t signed up for Code Red, please go here to do so: https://www.hamiltonma.gov/hamilton-mobile-alerts/

Where can I get the vaccine?

Early on, the vaccine was only being administered through hospitals. As roll out continues, the vaccine is being administered through a number of ways including hospital affiliates, doctor’s offices, CVS and Walgreens pharmacies, planned state run mega sites and Local Boards of Health. When your group is eligible, you will be able to go online and find a site to get vaccinated: https://www.mass.gov/info-details/when-can-i-get-the-covid-19-vaccine.
