Pre-Register for your COVID-19 Vaccine today

March 13, 2021

Important COVID-19 Vaccine Information
 

Dear Friends, 

As you may have heard, if you’re eligible for a vaccine under either of the first two phases, you can pre-register for your Covid-19 vaccine today! The site will also allow you to pre-register if you (like me!) are not eligible until Phase 3, even though we will still need to wait a little while to access appointments. Hopefully we will all be booking those appointments by May 1st, as President Biden said last night. It has been a long, hard pandemic year and we still have major challenges ahead, but there is hope on the horizon as we look towards the summer.

In the meantime, although I share roll-out frustrations with many of you, I am so grateful every time I and my team hear about another District 8 resident getting vaccinated. As Covid 19 vaccines continue to roll out, it’s important to have reliable information, so my office has compiled important vaccine resources below. When you get your opportunity to get any of the three approved vaccines, please take it! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to my office at 617-635-4225.

All the best, 



Kenzie
