Concord hosting vaccination clinic for residents 75 years old and older

Concord will host a small clinic on Tuesday, March 2, at the Harvey Wheeler Community Center from 9 a.m.-noon, for Concord residents age 75 and older for COVID-19 vaccination.

According to a statement on the town website, registration will be through https://clinics.maimmunizations.org/reg/1052955608. There are only 60 appointments available.

The town will not be receiving any more vaccine at this time and is unable to schedule future clinics. Residents are asked not to call the COA or Health Division as they have no additional information and there is no wait list for future clinics. If you receive an appointment, do not arrive before your appointment time.

"We encourage you to continue to look at vaxfinder.mass.gov if you are not able to get an appointment for the Town’s clinic this Tuesday," the town said in a statement. Appointments to Vax Finder are updated frequently for health care locations and on Thursdays for mass vaccination sites."

People who are eligible to receive a vaccine and are not comfortable using the internet can call 211 and follow the prompts for help scheduling COVID vaccine. Representatives are available to assist every day of the week
