State Announces Pre-registration System for Mass-vaccination Locations

BOSTON — The Baker-Polito administration announced that a new pre-registration signup tool will be available for the state’s seven mass-vaccination sites starting Friday, March 12. The new system will make it easier to request and book an appointment at a mass-vaccination site at a nearby location when they are available. More sites will be added to the pre-registration system in the coming weeks.

When pre-registration launches on Friday, it will replace the current online booking platforms for mass-vaccination sites. The COVID-19 Vaccine Scheduling Resource Line will be available to help residents who lack internet access or have difficulty using the internet for the pre-registration process.

The administration also announced the weekly distribution of vaccine doses statewide for different providers, reminding residents that there are 170 public vaccination sites statewide in addition to health systems that are offering appointments to their patients. More information on vaccine sites can be found at vaxfinder.mass.gov.
