Holidays Together: COVID-19 Vaccinations Available
Sadly, by Christmas, our state will likely surpass 20,000 confirmed COVID-19 deaths. New case counts are up by 23% over the three-day total reported one week earlier. A gift you can consider giving yourself- with benefits for your family, friends, and community is a vaccination. The Greater Cape Ann Community Collaborative (https://capeannclinic.com/) offers regular - free of charge vaccination clinics throughout the Cape Ann area. People aged 16+ who are fully vaccinated are eligible for the COVID-19 booster at any of our sites that are offering Pfizer! Walk-ins will be accepted while supplies last at each clinic.
