Marlborough Restaurants Will Host Coronavirus Vaccine Clinics In April

MARLBOROUGH, MA — A unique series of COVID-19 vaccine clinics will kick off in April, operating at three different restaurants across the city.

The Marlborough Board of Health will host the clinics, offering the Moderna version of the shot. Residents can get the shot as a booster, or as a first or second vaccine dose. The Moderna shot has been approved for anyone over age 12.

The health board reminded residents that shot recipients have to be monitored for 15 minutes after getting the vaccine — which is almost the perfect amount of time to wait for takeout.

Here are the times and dates for each clinic:

• April 1 — Kennedy's Restaurant, 247 Maple St. 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
• April 5 — Classic Pizza, 72 Hosmer St., 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
• April 11 — Thairiffic, 128 Main St., 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m

Reminder: the Stop the Spread coronavirus testing site run by Marlborough Hospital will close after March 31. The site at the New England Sports Center will be open 8 to 11 a.m. on Wednesday and Thursday before closing. Residents who want a test after April 1 can still head to the Stop the Spread sites in Framingham and Worcester, or order free rapid tests from the federal government.
