Registration For Andover Vaccine Clinic Will Open Thursday

ANDOVER, MA — Registration for Andover's first public vaccination clinic will open Thursday at 9 a.m., the town said Wednesday.

The first clinic, open to residents 75 and older, is scheduled for 9 to 11 a.m., Feb. 17 at the Andover High School Field House. Only 100 appointments will be available, due to the town's limited vaccine supply.

There are two ways to register when registration opens at 9 a.m. Thursday:

• Online, at andoverma.gov/vaccine.
• Through the town call center: 978-623-8333

Neither method will open before 9 a.m. Thursday, the town said.

There may be a short wait time on the phone as the call center works to book appointments, according to the announcement.

The vaccine is free for residents but the town asked that people registering have their insurance information ready, if they have insurance.

The town encouraged residents who are able to seek out appointments at the state's vaccine sites, which can be found at mass.gov/covidvaccinemap or by calling 211.

The town's coronavirus vaccine hotline can be reached at 978-623-8602 for recorded updates.
