2nd Coronavirus Booster Clinic Coming To Milford's Birmingham Court

MILFORD, MA — Milford residents who want to stay protected against coronavirus can head to a booster shot clinic in April at the Birmingham Court complex.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is recommending a second booster for anyone who's eligible. As of April, anyone over age 50 and anyone over 18 who is immunocompromised can get a second booster if four months have passed since the last booster shot.

Following a lull after the omicron wave in January and February, coronavirus cases are back on the rise in Massachusetts. The state reported 6,514 new cases on Tuesday after the Easter weekend, and the statewide positive test rate ticked up from 3.89 to 4.2 percent.

Milford's next clinic will take place at the Birmingham Court Community Room, 68 Sumner St., on April 26 from 1 to 3 p.m. Anyone who meets the second booster criteria can attend. Register for an appointment here.
