Melrose COVID-19 Vaccinations: Clinic For Residents 75+

MELROSE, MA — Residents 75 and older will be able to receive a COVID-19 vaccination in a city clinic later this month.

Melrose will be vaccinating those eligible on Wednesday, Feb. 17, between 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m. at Memorial Hall. Appointments must be made in advance and only Melrose residents who are at least 75 will be vaccinated.

The clinic will provide first doses of the Pfizer vaccine.

Those interested in booking an appointment can schedule one over the phone at 781-979-4112 and leaving a message with their name and number. (You can also call the state hotline at 211 to make appointments at other locations around the state.)

You can also book an appointment to the Melrose clinic online by going here and typing "memorial" into field that says "search by name of location."

(If you are still having trouble booking an appointment, email mike.carraggi@patch.com and I will do my best to connect you to someone who can help.)

Eligible residents can get a ride from Mystic Valley Elder Services at 781-324-7705.

People are asked to arrive no earlier than 15 minutes before their appointment.

People must bring proof of residence and proof of age. If you cannot get access to either, do the best you can.

Correction: The Melrose hotline phone number has been corrected.
