Primary series eligibility:

Booster dose eligibility:

  • Booster doses: ages 5 and up are eligible. Your booster does not need to be the same vaccine brand as your original COVID-19 vaccination, but does need to be age appropriate. Check if you or your child are eligible
  • Second booster: Omicron-specific (bivalent) booster: Recommended for ages 5+ who received a shot (end of primary series or booster dose) over 2 months ago. CDC and Mass DPH recommend receiving this bivalent booster dose as soon as possible. Current guidelines allow a single bivalent booster dose per person. Check if you or your child are eligible

Vaccine Safety

Vaccines are safe and are one of the best ways to protect yourself and those around you from getting sick from COVID-19. The vaccine doesn’t contain the virus that causes COVID-19, so it can’t make you sick. You may experience mild side effects after getting the vaccine, but this is a sign that your body is learning how to protect you.

The COVID-19 vaccine was developed quickly but all of the same safety steps were followed for this vaccine that are used for all vaccines. Across all age groups, vaccines have been rigorously tested, and have shown to be safe, effective and protective against serious illness and death.
