Update on Dec. 1 Pfizer Vaccine and Flu Clinic at King Open School

Due to high demand at the November 10 vaccination clinic, and in order to ensure those who received their first dose can receive their second dose on December 1, walk-in COVID-19 vaccine and flu shots will not be available at the December 1 clinic.

All appointment slots for COVID-19 and flu vaccines on December 1 have either been filled or are reserved for people who received their first COVID-19 vaccine at the November 10 clinic. New registrations are only available for individuals who received a COVID-19 vaccine at the November 10 clinic and have not yet registered for their second dose.

The Cambridge Public Health Department and city partners plan to hold additional COVID-19 vaccination clinics early this winter. For residents seeking vaccination sooner, CPHD recommends scheduling an appointment at a local pharmacy or at the Cambridge Health Alliance Vaccine Center in Somerville (176 Somerville Ave, near Target). The CHA Somerville Vaccine Center offers pediatric and adult COVID-19 vaccines (including boosters) and flu vaccine. You can register for an appointment or can walk in during clinic hours. To find other COVID-19 vaccine locations, visit www.vaxfinder.ma.gov or call 2-1-1 for assistance over the phone.

For residents who have confirmed appointments for the December 1 clinic, please see below for additional information:

• The clinic will be held from 3:30 p.m.–7:30 p.m. at the King Open School, 850 Cambridge Street, in East Cambridge.
• Nurses will be available to speak with anyone who has COVID-19 or flu vaccine questions.
• Please remember to wear a mask. We also recommend wearing a short-sleeved shirt under layers as it makes it faster and easier to administer the vaccine.
• No ID, Social Security Number, or health insurance is needed for the free vaccines. However, if you have a health insurance card, please bring it with you.

If you received your first COVID-19 vaccine dose at the November 10 clinic at King Open and are not yet scheduled for dose 2 on December 1, please check your email or text messages for a registration link. If you did not receive a link, please call the Cambridge Public Health Department at 617-665-3826 and leave a message.
