Important Vaccine Information
The COVID-19 pandemic has unfairly affected Boston's Black, Latinx, immigrant and other communities of color. Systemic racism, including in healthcare and vaccine development, also contributes to concerns and mistrust of the COVID-19 vaccine. We're committed to making information available in multiple languages, through multiple methods, and on an ongoing basis. Our goal is to help our residents make informed decisions.
- COVID-19 vaccinations have been approved for people ages 5 and up.
- COVID-19 boosters are now available for ages 5 and up. Young people between 5 and 17 are eligible for the Pfizer booster only.
- Second boosters are available for people 50 and older, those who are moderately or severely immunocompromised, and those who received a J&J vaccine and are not immunocompromised.
Learn more about BPHC's COVIID-19 vaccine recommendations.
