BOSTON – The administration of Gov. Charlie Baker announced today that Massachusetts has exceeded 1 million doses of vaccines administered, and more than 20,000 vaccine appointments are available at mass vaccination sites. The administration has also extended hours for the call center to support residents 75 and older seeking assistance to schedule an appointment for a vaccine.
Baker said, as of Thursday night, 1,034,018 doses have been administered across the state. The state has surpassed the first benchmark Baker set for Phase 2 vaccinations — 242,000 per week — with 242,000 doses administered since Sunday.
As of Friday morning, more than 20,000 appointments for the coming days are still available across four mass vaccination sites in Danvers, Springfield, Foxboro, and Boston.
Eligible residents can book an appointment online here. Residents 75 and older may be accompanied by a companion with a scheduled appointment for mass vaccination sites only. Over the course of this week, more than 70,000 new vaccination appointments were made available at mass vaccination sites and pharmacies.
Starting Saturday, Feb. 13, the Massachusetts Vaccine Scheduling Resource Line will extend its hours of operation to include weekends and weekday evenings. These extended hours will further support people 75 and older to schedule a COVID-19 vaccination appointment if they are unable to use, or have difficulty accessing, the internet.
New call center hours of operation:
- Monday to Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.
- Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
For assistance scheduling a vaccination appointment, dial 2-1-1 and follow the prompts. The Massachusetts Scheduling Resource Line is available in English and Spanish, and has translators available to support residents in approximately 100 additional languages.
The most efficient scheduling option is still the state’s website: mass.gov/CovidVaccine.
